Text For Citation: 03 Item/Group: 031 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.305(b)(2)(i) All pull boxes, junction boxes, and fittings shall be provided with covers identified for the purpose. If metal covers are used, they shall be grounded. In completed installations, each outlet box shall have a cover, faceplate, or fixture canopy. Covers of outlet boxes having holes through which flexible cord pendants pass shall be provided with bushings designed for the purpose or shall have smooth, well-rounded surfaces on which the cords may bear. A. The employer did not ensure that all pull boxes, junction boxes, and fittings were provided with covers identified for the purpose. 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. During inspection of the lab building, Compliance Officers identified junction boxes without covers or faceplates. Metal junction boxes were seen in the facility to be without covers. For example, including, but not limited to, a metal junction box located inside the main lab building on the wall that had wiring coming out of the box. By not ensuring all pull boxes, junction boxes, and fittings were protected with an approved cover, employees were exposed to potential electrical hazards which can result in serious injury or death. This may be a system-wide occurrence that requires evaluation of all pull boxes, junction boxes, and fittings throughout the facility.
