Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.107(c)(5): Combustible residues, areas. Unless specifically approved for locations containing both deposits of readily ignitable residue and explosive vapors, there shall be no electrical equipment in any spraying area, whereon deposits of combustible residues may readily accumulate, except wiring in rigid conduit or in boxes or fittings containing no taps, splices, or terminal connections. A). On or about July 8, 2015 employees were exposed to explosion and burn injuries because they were completing paint spraying tasks in an area where ignitable residues and explosive vapors were present with non approved electrical equipment and flexible wires. The exhaust fan used for mechanical ventilation was not an approved explosion proof piece of equipment. The wiring for the device were not contained in rigid conduit and were taped and spliced to extend the wires reach to an outlet.
