29 CFR 1910.303(b)(2) Installation and use. Listed or labeled equipment shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling. A. The employer did not ensure that listed or labeled equipment was used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling. This violation was identified during inspections of the facility from November 2009 to March 2010, Silver Eagle Refining Inc., 2355 South 1100 West, Woods Cross, UT, 84087. At the time of the inspection, breakers located in the warehouse were noted to have a nail used to connect breaker switches. Nails were used to "gang" together multiple 110v circuit breakers. Nails are not UL listed or approved as a method of connecting breakers by the NEC. In addition, this method does not meet NFPA guidelines as a method of connecting breakers. By not connecting breakers with an approved method, employees can be exposed to electrical hazards which can result in serious injury or death. This may be a system-wide occurrence that requires evaluation of all electrical breakers throughout the facility.
