29 CFR 1910.303(g)(1)(ii): Working space required by this standard may not be used for storage. When normally enclosed live parts are exposed for inspection or servicing, the working space, if in a passageway or general open space, shall be suitably guarded. The employer does not ensure that the working space in front of electrical equipment is not used for storage. This violation was most recently observed on September 24, 2019 at the Dollar Tree Stores, Inc.'s 2300 Roosevelt Ave Marinette, 54143 location. The working space in front of the main electrical equipment in the store room is used for storage of boxes of product and U-boat carts. Additionally, the space leading to the equipment is blocked and not accessible with storage of product on the floor and U-boat carts. This violation was observed again on December 16, 2019 with the working space in front of the main electrical equipment blocked with a rolling conveyor and the space leading to the equipment blocked with another rolling conveyor and boxes of product. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure that the working space in front of electrical equipment is not used for storage. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance, including a description of how these steps prevent the working space in front of electrical equipment from being utilized for storage.
