General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the 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 hazards such as arc blast, caused by bringing an object that was at a different potential into proximity to parts which were not disconnected from a source of electrical energy. a)An employee performing switching operations at the 1531 North Water Street Pfister & Vogel tannery site intiated an arc blast by bringing an object energized at a different potential into proximity with electrical parts energized at 13,200 volts phase-to- phase and 7620 volts phase-to-ground. All potential sources of electrical energy had not been opened/de-energized, tested and grounded. Among other methods, one feasible and useful method of abating this hazard is to ensure that all affected electrical parts are disconnected from their source(s) of energy, tested and determined to be de-energized, and visibly grounded before being approached with objects which are at ground potential, or energized at a different potential above ground.
