Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.333(b)(2)(iv)(B): A qualified person shall use test equipment to test the circuit elements and electrical parts of equipment to which employees will be exposed and shall verify that the circuit elements and equipment parts are deenergized. The test shall also determine if any energized condition exists as a result of inadvertently induced voltage or unrelated voltage backfeed even though specific parts of the circuit have been deenergized and presumed to be safe. If the circuit to be tested is over 600 volts, nominal, the test equipment shall be checked for proper operation immediately after this test. On or about October 16, 2014, an unqualified site supervisor tested the 3 phase electrical switchgear located in Cabinet #3 of the 4.16kv DP&L/Metal Shredders, Inc. dual-access industrial substation. The site supervisor utilized a Mark 1 Voltage Detector to test the 3 phase 4.16 kv electrical lines which showed one of the three phase legs still energized around 2400 volts. The unqualified site supervisor did not check the Mark 1 Voltage Detector for proper operation before and immediately after the test. In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence, or written records.
