Stored ceiling tile pallets are placed directly in front of a switchgear lineup on the day of startup. What should the superintendent require before energization work proceeds?

Correct Answer

A) Remove the stored material and restore the required electrical working space

Clear the pallets and maintain the required access and working space before startup work. Visible handles alone do not make an obstructed workspace usable, and noncombustible carts can obstruct it too. OSHA prohibits using the required working space for storage; the applicable dimensions depend on the equipment and conditions.
