Most surprisingly is that this OSHA Alert actually “endorses” a private product, which I thought OSHA refused to do. Of course this is a “State Plan” and NOT federal OSHA, but I was still surprised to see...

I am not sure what transpired with this inspection, but the power plant was also cited for these same violations, but all their citations were DELETED and the penalty reduced to $0.00. The citations below were to the contractor who was actually doing the work inside the space.

This is an IMPROPERLY wired disconnect switch. Suspicions are that it was done on purpose so that management could not recognize the machine was still powered on while maintenance/servicing was taking place.
