Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.403(b)(2): Listed, labeled, or certified equipment was not installed and/or used in accordance with instructions included in the listing, labeling, and/or certification: The employer does not protect its employees from the hazards associated with the improper use of labeled and listed electrical equipment. This was most recently observed on or about July 11, 2014 at a worksite located at 15 Cottage St., Easthampton, MA in that employees were observed using portable Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) that were drawing power from extension cords which is contrary to the instructions printed on the devices that state, "DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT GFCI TO POWER RECEPTACLE": (a) Powering a drill and reciprocating saw on the roof (b) Powering a circular on the second floor of this building. To abate this violation, the employer must train its employees on the proper usage of electrical devices such as these, instruct their employees to follow the instructions printed on devices they use in the course of their work, and monitor their employee to ensure that they are using electrical devices consistent with the labeling and listing for those devices.
