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 the hazards of: a)On or about 07/12/2010 at Austin Highway Transmission located on 915 Austin Highway, San Antonio, TX 78209, the service drop was in contact with girders of a carport behind the auto transmission shop, which can potentially energize the structure and expose employees to the hazards of electricity. b)At the inspection site, a bungee cord was used to suspend messenger- supported wiring. The employer used a bungee cord to prevent the messenger-supported wiring from touching the metal girder. A bungee cord does not comply with the National Electric Code requirement for attachments for multiconductor cables used for service drop. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to comply in accordance with provisions stipulated in the National Electric Code Section 390.30 (A) Messenger and 230.27 Means of Attachment as applicable. Also, the meter loop could be moved to an exterior wall so the messenger-supported wiring is not in contact with the carport structure.supported
