North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of North
Carolina:  The employer did not furnish each of his employees conditions
of employment and
a place of employment free from recognized hazards that were causing or
likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to
electrical hazards
while occupying a temporary migrant labor camp.
Temporary Migrant Labor Campsite - Workers were exposed to electrical
hazards as follows:
a) Two workers living in the trailer located at 6278 Globe Rd. were
exposed to
the following:
1. Live electrical wires were protruding from the bathroom light
fixture located over the sink.
2. The path to ground from the kitchen refrigerator was not
permanent and continuous in that it was not grounded.
b) Two workers living in the trailer at 6360 Globe Rd. were exposed to the
following:
1. An energized refrigerator was located outside of this trailer,
completely exposed to the elements and had exposed live wiring
protruding from the rear.
2. Two flexible cords were plugged, end to end, into an outdoor
light fixture in the front of the trailer and run through a window
at the other end of the trailer.
3. The main electrical service panel outside of the trailer was
