Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.305(g)(2)(iii): Flexible cords were not connected to devices and fittings so that tension would not be transmitted to joints or terminal screws: a) The employer fails to ensure effective measures to prevent electrical hazards as demonstrated on or about August 23, 2023, in the Sawmill at the Chipper/auger area, where an employee works to operate the chipper. To abate this hazard, the employer must ensure that the flexible cord to the vibrator motor is connected with a strain relief to prevent tension from being transmitted to the terminal screws in the disconnect. b) The employer fails to ensure effective measures to prevent electrical hazards as demonstrated on or about August 25, 2023, in the Planer Mill at the stick machine, where an employee works to operate the stick machine. To abate this hazard, the employer must ensure that flexible cords in that area are connected with a strain relief to prevent tension from being transmitted to the terminal screws in the disconnect. c) The employer fails to ensure effective measures to prevent electrical hazards as demonstrated on or about August 25, 2023, in the Planer Mill at the Sorter, where an employee walks the platform. To abate this hazard, the employer must ensure that flexible cords in that area are connected with a strain relief to prevent tension from being transmitted to the terminal screws in the disconnect.
