Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 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 August 22, 2018, the employer failed to ensure an employee repairing a 208/230 Volt rooftop air conditioning unit used test equipment to verify the electrical energy was deenergized, prior to working on the electrical parts of the unit.
