Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.303(f)(1): Motors and appliances. Each disconnecting means required by this subpart for motors and appliances shall be legibly marked to indicate its purpose, unless located and arranged so the purpose is evident. On or about November 30, 2023, the employer did not ensure that each disconnecting means for motors or appliances were legibly marked to indicate its purpose. This exposes employees to unknown power sources if performing lockout tagout for work. An exposure to power sources ranging from 480V-600V would result in irreversible injuries or death. The following instances were identified: (a) Two unlabeled 480V disconnects on the North Wall in the Foundry. These were observed next to disconnects labeled NIS and EXHT FAN hanging on wall down from SUB01-MCP01. (b) A 30A-600V disconnect unlabeled. This was observed outside of cabinet next to SUB01-MCP01. (c) Unlabeled and mislabeled 460V disconnects on a breaker cabinet near the "Old Sand Plant door." Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
