Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.137(c)(2)(viii): Electrical protective equipment was not subjected to periodic electrical tests. Test voltages and/or the maximum intervals between tests were not conducted in accordance with Table I-4 and Table I-5. On or about April 17, 2017, employee(s) performing work at various field locations were required to use electrical protective equipment such as rubber insulating gloves during their assigned electrical work. The employees were required to work on or near voltages between 110 VAC - 480 VAC. The rubber insulating gloves were not subjected to periodic electrical tests. Employees were thereby exposed to the hazards associated with live electrical parts.
