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.------------------------------------------- posted 11:35 AM :: reference link ::
