General-duty citation text

29 CFR  1926.416(a)(3):Before work is begun the employer shall ascertain by inquiry or direct observation, or by instruments, whether any part of an energized electric power circuit, exposed or concealed, is so located that the performance of the work may bring any person, tool, or machine into physical or electrical contact with the electric power circuit. The employer shall post and maintain proper warning signs where such a circuit exists. The employer shall advise employees of the location of such lines, the hazards involved, and the protective measures to be taken.  (a)  Jobsite:  On or about June 27, 2025, the employer began work without determining if any overhead electric lines presented a hazard to employees who had to install roofing metal around the perimeter of the building.  On June 27, 2025, employees were installing metal roofing fascia around the perimeter of the building and came in contact with an uninsulated overhead single phase 23 KV electric line.  The employer did not post any warning signs on the working level of the roof to warn employees of the overhead energized electric line.
