Text For Citation: 01 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) On or about March 4, 1987, at about 1:00 P.M. on Tem Cole Road, located approximately 1/2 mile east of Browns Farm Road, a driver was hauling a harvester/loader on a low-boy trailer on the 14' wide roadway. The harvester/loader measuring approximately 26' wide and about 18' 6" high was in proximity to overhead electric transmission lines carrying 7620 volts which exposed employee(s) to the electrical shock hazards. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to ensure that employees or equipment do not come in close proximity to any part of electrical overhead powerlines and circuits that may be contacted by: 1) Ascertaining the location(s) of overhead powerlines and circuits. 2) Advising employees of the location of such lines, hazards involved and protective measures to be taken. 3) Designating a person to observe clearance of equipment and give timely warning for operations where it is difficult for the operator to maintain required safe clearance by visual means.
