General-duty citation text

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.    a) Worksite, 150 Sunrise Highway, Lindenhurst, NY: Employees de-installing Siemens CT machine (Model #08377520 / Serial #55288) were exposed to energized wires at approximately 480 volts; on or about 8/1/16.    Because abatement of this violation is already documented in the case file, the employer needs not submit certification or documentation of this violation as normally required by 29 CFR 1903.19.
