Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.269(q)(3)(vi): The employer did not ensure that employees do not perform work when adverse weather conditions would make the work hazardous even after the employer implements the work practices required by this section. Additionally, employees may not perform work when winds reduce the phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground clearances at the work location below the minimum approach distances specified in paragraph (q)(3)(xiv) of this section, unless insulating guards cover the grounded objects and other lines and equipment. Note to paragraph (q)(3)(vi): Thunderstorms in the vicinity, high winds, snow storms, and ice storms are examples of adverse weather conditions that make liveline barehand work too hazardous to perform safely even after the employer implements the work practices required by this section: On or about September 10, 2015 Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC did not ensure employees working in adverse weather conditions with limited illumination were protected and exposed them to electric shock hazards.
