Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.334(a)(4): Portable electric equipment and flexible cords that was used in highly conductive work locations (such as those inundated with water or other conductive locations) or in job locations where employees were likely to contact water or conductive liquids were not approved for those locations: At Americold Logistics: The employer is failing to protect employees from electrical shock hazards. A 480 volt heater unit is being used to assist with thawing ice build-up on the chiller units located in the freezer. The location varies dependent upon where the ice has accumulated. The heater is not approved for locations (not identified as such on the ID plate or labeling). This unit is also being directly wired into the power supply for the chiller fan system (480 volts) due to there not being any type of male plug on the cord.
