Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: ELECTRIC
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to a recognized hazard of electrical shock or burns: (a) M/V Royal Enterprise: Employees working in the engine room had occasion to be near an electrical breaker panel box that did not have the unused breaker openings effectively closed or covered. This condition exposed employees to live electrical conductors should the employee enter the panel box to access the breakers. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement would be to install covers over the openings.
