29 CFR 1910.305(g)(1)(iv)(A): Flexible cords and/or cables were used as a substitute for the fixed wiring of a structure. The employer does not ensure that extension cords (flex wiring) are not used as a substitute for fixed wiring. This hazard was observed in the maintenance shop when multiple extension cords were wrapped around beams and other parts of the structure, exposing employees to electrical hazards. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation describing the steps taken to ensure that all flexible cords and/or cables are not used as a substitute for fixed wiring.
