employer did not
furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from
recognized hazards that
were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees in that employees
were exposed to a recognized hazard of electrical shock or burns:
(a)M/V Atlas:  Employees working on the processing deck had occasion to
work
near a Square D electrical panelboard (#2208) that was not dead fronted.
Employees were exposed to possible electrical shock or burns in the event
of
accidental contact with 120/208 volt bare electrical conductors.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct
this hazard would be to replace the missing dead front.
(b)M/V Atlas:  Employees working on the processing deck had occasion to
work
near a 120 volt factory lighting panelboard that was not dead fronted.
Employees
were exposed to possible electrical shock or burns in the event of

(c)M/V Atlas:  Employees working on the processing deck had occasion to
work
near a 460 volt electrical distribution panel that was not dead fronted.

(d)M/V Atlas:  Employees were required to work on air compressors,
refrigeration
units, pumps, cranes, and other equipment without the benefit of a

inadvertent release of energy and possible injuries during maintenance
operations.

correct
his hazard is to develop a lockout/tagout program using the requirements
