Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.334(a)(2)(i): Portable cord and plug connected equipment and flexible cord sets (extension cords) shall be visually inspected before use on any shift for external defects (such as loose parts, deformed and missing pins, or damage to outer jacket or insulation) and for evidence of possible internal damage (such as pinched or crushed outer jacket). On or about 02 February 2018, flexible power cords in the production area had splicing and/or were covered with tape, masking repairs, and there was evidence of the outer insulation jacket being pinched. These cords were not subject to adequate inspection or identified for removal. This exposed employees to arcing and electrical fires. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d)
