Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.333(b)(2)(iv)(B): A qualified person shall use test equipment to test the circuit elements and electrical parts of equipment to which employees will be exposed and shall verify that the circuit elements and equipment parts are deenergized. The test shall also determine if any energized condition exists as a result of inadvertently induced voltage or unrelated voltage backfeed even though specific parts of the circuit have been deenergized and presumed to be safe. If the circuit to be tested is over 600 volts, nominal, the test equipment shall be checked for proper operation immediately after this test. a) On or about April 21, 2021 during the inline fused burn in test for the EMI filter, the employer did not perform electrical testing prior to plugging in the testing unit. When plugging in the testing unit, employees stood within inches of exposed conductors and turned on electrical testing equipment which was attached to exposed conductors located at the transformers. The electrical conductors were carrying alternating current at 208 volts and 35 amps.
