A St. Augustine worker finds an extension cord with this defect: cord is repaired with tape only. Which action is safest before use continues?
Correct Answer
D) tag out damaged cord
Damaged electrical cords must be removed from service or repaired properly before use.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Damaged electrical cords must be removed from service or repaired properly before use.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: add more tape on the splice
add more tape on the splice may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the damaged cord control exposure being tested.
Option B: use until the splice fails
use until the splice fails may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the damaged cord control exposure being tested.
Option C: keep if the tape is outdoor-rated
keep if the tape is outdoor-rated may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the damaged cord control exposure being tested.
Memory Technique
Name the harm before the guard; add, more, tape cannot stand in for Foreman Controls.
Reference Hint
Open-book path: tab OSHA 29 CFR 1926 to Subpart K, 1926.403 and 1926.405 Electrical safety requirements; verify the OSHA safety threshold or jobsite control before answering.
