What happened?
Two workers were preforming a maintenance task on a lift deck.
They noticed a 230v cable was missing a plug and had electrical tape covering the end.
An electrician was sent to check, they found the cable was live and it was disconnected from its power source.
-
Why did it happen?
Electrical nonconformities had not been flagged to the workers before they entered the workspace.
These should have been flagged physically and resolved before the workers were allowed into the workspace.
They should also have been recorded electronically.
-
What did they learn?
Components with electrical related nonconformities should be flagged physically and on the project progress board to indicate they have an electrical nonconformity.
Flagged components will have all electrical nonconformities resolved before they will be handed over to the next phase of the team.

Ask yourself or your crew
How can we avoid something like this happening here?
Are your workers aware of any outstanding nonconformities?
How are any nonconformities communicated to the workforce?
