Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 013 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.305(a)(1)(i): Metal raceways, cable trays, cable armor, cable sheath, enclosures, frames, fittings, and noncurrent-carrying parts that are to serve as grounding conductors, with or without the use of supplementary equipment grounding conductors, were not effectively bonded where necessary to ensure electrical continuity and did not have the capacity to conduct safely any fault current likely to have been imposed on them: a) Wastewater Treatment Plant Area: Raceway conduit carrying electrical wiring from the Master Wastewater Treatment electrical panel box to a T junction box was broken away from the connection at the panel box and at the entry point into and out of the T junction box, affecting the electrical continuity to safely conduct fault current placed on the electrical system. This exposed electrical wiring carrying 120 volt, 220 volt and 480 volt AC conductors to inadvertent contact, exposing employees to electrical shock hazard.
