29 CFR 1910.303(g)(1)(i): The employer does not maintain work space that is 30 inches wide in front of electric equipment operating at 600 volts, nominal, or less: This violation was observed on or about January 14, 2016 in the Fabrication and Main Shop Areas where the work space in front of a 120/208 volt electrical panel is reduced to 24 inches by the placement of the Hypertherm Max 200 Plasma Machine. The Press Brake and Shear machines were located in front of and near electrical panels which reduced access to less than 30 inches wide in the machine areas. To abate this violation, the employer must relocate the equipment blocking access to the electrical panels. The Jarosz Welding Co.
