Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.334(a)(2)(ii): Where there was a defect or evidence of damage that could expose an employee to injury, the defective or damaged item was not removed from service until the repairs and tests necessary to render the electric equipment safe have been made. On or about 12 April 2017, and at times prior thereto, an electrical extension cord used for a Ryobi Jig Saw within the Sidewalls Department had damage to the outer jacket, compromising the integrity of the cord, and was consequently covered up with black duct tape with continued usage, exposing the employees to the hazard of either an electrical fire or approximately 120 volts.
