Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 012A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.334(a)(1): Handling. Portable equipment shall be handled in a manner which will not cause damage. Flexible electric cords connected to equipment may not be used for raising or lowering the equipment. Flexible cords may not be fastened with staples or otherwise hung in such a fashion as could damage the outer jacket or insulation. (a) On or about October 15, 2019, a yellow flexible (extension) cord was run from the unsecured outlet to an overhead beam, looped over the beam and looped around a conduit running from the ceiling down the wall and plugged into a surge protector strip that was giving power to some roll sorter machines. There was nothing between the metal beam and the cord, or the conduit and the cord to protect the cord from friction and prevent damage to the cord.
