What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Section 5(a)(1) of teh Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
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
potential hazards of electrical explosion resulting from employees
working with and adjacent to emergized electrical cables in a
padmounted
transformer:
(a)  Jobsite, Adjacent to American Mathematical Society, 201
Charles Street, Providence RI:  Two employees involved in the
switching operation on energized electrical cables in a
padmounted
transformer were not adequately protected from the hazards
of electrical explosions.
One feasible method to protect employees doing this type of work is
the following:
1.  Conduct phase to phase testing to identify the phase
configuration;
%%
2.  Provide employees performing the work a map of the circuit
so that existing conditions can be determined before starting work;
3.  Evaluate condition of transformer and clear up any congestion
within the pad-mounted transformer;
4.  Install permanent phase marking on transformer;
5.  Conduct a job briefing before each job.  This would include
task sequence, determination of what tools are proper for job, what
procedures should be used, clearance requirements, requirements for
personal protective equipment, and special precautions such as phase
configuration and other hazards which are unique to each job.
