Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.416(a)(3): Before work began the employer did not ascertain by inquiry, direct observation, or by instruments, whether any part of an energized electric power circuit, exposed or concealed, was so located that the performance of the work could bring a person, tool, or machine into physical or electrical contact with the energized electric power circuit. On or about 1 April 2020, and at times prior thereto, two workers utilized an articulating boom lift on separate occasions in which the boom was so located to come into contact with the overhead power lines carrying 7200 volts, exposing those workers to the hazard of being electrocuted. Proper warning signs were not posted where such a circuit existed and the enforcement of protective measures was not implemented.
