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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 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:
a.Maintenance employees who routinely perform tasks such as compressor
PM's (amperage
draws), checking voltages at fuses and contacts, replacing fuses,
replacing breakers,
troubleshooting motors and checking power feed lines from bus lines were
exposed to
potential electrical hazards  such as shock, burn, electrocution, arc
flash, and arc blast,
while working on energized electrical systems of up to 480 Volts. The
employees did not wear
all necessary electrical personal protective equipment such as face
shields, safety glasses, and
were not utilizing all the necessary specialized tools,  barriers ,
shields  or insulating
materials to protect against all potential electrical hazards. No adequate
hazard analysis
(such as a flash hazard analysis as described in NFPA 70E  ("Standard for
Electrical
Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces" (2000 Edition) Section
2-1.3.3)) had been
conducted  to determine whether the potential hazards of the work to be
performed (such
as shock, electrocution, arc blast, and arc flash) warranted the use of
any, or all such
personal protective equipment, specialized tools, barriers, shields or
insulating materials.
Feasible means of abatement can be achieved by conducting a Flash Hazard
Analysis in
accordance with NFPA 70E Section 2-1.3.3 (or its equivalent) and providing
for, and
requiring, the use of the necessary personal protective equipment as
determined following
that analysis.
