29 CFR 1910.333(a): "General." Safety-related work practices shall be employed to prevent electric shock or other injuries resulting from either direct or indirect electrical contacts, when work is performed near or on equipment or circuits which are or may be energized.The specific safety-related work practices shall be consistent with the nature and extent of the associated electrical hazards. a. At the workplace, for employees who routinely perform work on or near energized parts (120-480 VAC) such as testing, troubleshooting, voltage measuring, and other tasks in and around the electrical panel boxes for equipment such as the slip tank and eirich mixer, neither a flash hazard analysis was conducted to determine the proper protection required nor was a flash protection boundary established to protect employees from shock, arc flash, or arc blast.
