Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.334(a)(2)(i): Portable cord and plug connected equipment and flexible cord sets (extension cords) shall be visually inspected before use on any shift for external defects (such as loose parts, deformed and missing pins, or damage to outer jacket or insulation) and for evidence of possible internal damage (such as pinched or crushed outer jacket). Cord and plug connected equipment and flexible cord sets (extension cords) which remain connected once they are put in place and are not exposed to damage need not be visually inspected until they are relocated. At a worksite located at 610 Railroad Street in Mattoon, Wisconsin; in the sawmill, the employer did not ensure that a portable Dewalt Circular Saw (DW364) was inspected prior to being used on each shift for external defects. The outer jacket of the flexible cord on the Dewalt Circular Saw was damaged, exposing the employee using it to electrical shock hazards.
