Davis Tool & Die has been cited by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration for 17 safety violations after a maintenance worker was electrocuted March 6 at the Fenton tool and die facility.
"Allowing maintenance workers to service energized equipment without taking required safety precautions and providing necessary personal protective equipment is inexcusable. In this incident, such disregard had fatal consequences," said Bill McDonald, OSHA's area director in St. Louis. "Davis Tool & Die has a responsibility to protect workers from known hazards at its manufacturing facility. No worker should risk his life for a job."

NFPA 70E 20 Most Frequently Asked Questions
Does the NFPA 70E get you to scratching your head sometimes? They receive hundreds of questions each week and they have put together a handy brochure that covers articles from..... work involving electrical hazards (Article 130) to..... how do I determine if my equipment situation conforms with the overcurrent protective device parameters identified in Table 130.7(C)(15)(a)?
I really enjoyed reading this and I know you will too. Some of the questions are great reminders and others will make you think. Either way, the more comfortable we are with understanding and using NFPA 70E and how it relates to our daily work tasks is always a plus.

Six workers were sent to the hospital last Wednesday after an arc flash explosion at a Dortec Industries plant in Newmarket that manufactures door latches for vehicles. The arc blast was isolated to one manufacturing line and while the company is investigating the cause, they do not expect the incident to disrupt regular business as the blast did not cause any damage to equipment or building structure. Out of nine people injured, six were sent to the hospital and released the same day. The victims in this article are fortunate that their injuries were non-life-threatening.
