Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 018B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.335(a)(2)(ii): Protective shields, protective barriers, or insulating materials were not used to protect each employee from shock, burns, or other electrically related injuries while that employee is working near exposed energized parts which might be accidentally contacted or where dangerous electric heating or arcing might occur. When normally enclosed live parts are exposed for maintenance or repair, they shall be guarded to protect unqualified persons from contact with the live parts. (a) On or about February 10, 2015, the employer had no insulating protective equipment in use while employee(s) performed electrical continuity testing on a 480 disconnect "Wringer Main Disconnect" and electrical panel housing a 110 volt AC switch "Wringer #2", such as barriers or shielding in place to protect employees from arcing faults and electrical shock hazard when trouble shooting electrical circuitry and replacing fuses.
