29 CFR 1910.303(b)(2): Listed or labeled electrical equipment was not used or installed in accordance with instructions included in the listing or labeling: (a) Building 7 Warehouse Shipping/ Receiving Checkpoint. A relocatable power tap (surge protector) was plugged into an orange extension cord which powered Hewlett Packard computer equipment. The UL listing states that relocatable power taps are designed to be plugged into an outlet, and not daisy chained and plugged into other relocatable power taps or extension cords. This exposes employees to possible electrical fire hazards. (b) Building 7 Warehouse Shipping/ Receiving Checkpoint. A Honeywell heater rated at 12.5 amps was plugged into a surge protector (relocatable power tap). The UL listing states that relocatable power taps are designed for low amperage computer and audiovisual types of equipment, and not appliances. This exposes employees to possible electrical fire hazards.
