Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 012 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.305(e)(1): Cabinets, cutout boxes, fittings, boxes, and panelboard enclosures in wet locations were not installed to prevent moisture or water from entering and accumulating. The enclosures were not weatherproof in the wet locations: a) Rack Washing Area- The employer failed to ensure all boxes and fittings in damp or wet locations, such as the outlet next to the Rack Washer Sink, were installed to prevent moisture and water from entering and accumulating. This box was originally installed to be weatherproof, but the cover had been broken off and it was no longer maintained in a weatherproof condition to prevent water from entering and accumulating. In addition, this outlet was not equipped with ground fault circuit interruption protection. b) Production Area- The employer failed to ensure all fittings in damp or wet locations, such as the two drop down outlet plugs on the wall above the sink in the Icing Area, were installed to prevent moisture and water from entering and accumulating. These plugs were not weatherproof, showed signs of damage and corrosion, and were not equipped with ground fault circuit interruption protection. In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence of abatement, or other written records.
