Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.307(b): Documentation for areas designated as hazardous (classified) locations under the Class and Zone system and areas designated under the Class and Division system established after August 13, 2007 was not available to those authorized to design, install, inspect, maintain, or operate electric equipment at the location: The employer is failing to document the location of Class II Division 2 electrical wiring throughout the facility thus exposing their employees to potential electrical and explosion hazards. This was most recently evident during the inspection of the facility located at 4444 S. 76th Circle, Omaha, NE 68127, where the employer has employees working on packaging line #4 where the employer had a contractor make repairs to the electrical wiring above the packaging line and without the knowledge that this area should only be Class II Division 2 wiring the contractor installed a standard junction box that is not dust proof thus exposing the employee to explosion hazards every time they blow down the area during daily cleanup.
