    OSHA fines Big Dog in worker’s death By Julie Breaux, Odessa American, TX
    Big Dog was cited with five serious violations, which include:
    >> Failing to label circuit panel switches.
    >> Failing to ensure electrical installations had a permanent and continuous path to ground.
    >> Failing to cover exposed electrical wiring in circuit panels.
    >> Failing to install or use flexible cables in accordance with manufacturer and national electrical code requirements.
    >> And allowing exposed wiring on electrical outlets and switches on the rig location.

    A serious violation is issued when there is a “substantial probability” that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazardous condition “about which the employer knew or should have known,” the release stated.
