Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.303(b)(2): Listed or labeled electrical equipment was not used or installed in accordance with instructions included in the listing or labeling: (a) Ductowire L Series Pendant used to operate the Ace World Companies Transfer Cars - On or about August 19, 2011, Transfer cars operated with Ductowire Pendants are used to move barges through the assembly process. Jeffboat, LLC Electricians are required to build and repair these pendants. 1. Pendants were found to be not initially assembled as per the the installation instructions provided by Ductowire. The pendants were not built using round cable as specified by Ductowire, and the rubber boots were cutback much further than specified by Ductowire. This created a gap where water and moisture could enter the pendant. 2. Pendants were rebuilt using pendant housings that had gaps betweem the two pendant halves even when they were screwed tightly back together. These pendants were continued to be used and kept outside even though moisture and water were entering the pendants.
