29 CFR 1910.333(a)(1): "Deenergized parts." Live parts to which an employee may be exposed shall be deenergized before the employee works on or near them, unless the employer can demonstrate that deenergizing introduces additional or increased hazards or is infeasible due to equipment design or operational limitations. Live parts that operate at less than 50 volts to ground need not be deenergized if there will be no increased exposure to electrical burns or to explosion due to electric arcs: At a residence located at 11311 Bexley Dr. Houston, TX 77099, employees worked on 7200 volt transformer, serial #1145098-01, and did not ensure all live parts were deenergized, exposing employees to electrical hazards.
