Unit VI Case Study

The standards in Subpart S are consistently in the top 10 in OSHA’s most frequently cited standards lists and highest

penalties assessed lists. The standards in Subpart S are complex and often misunderstood—even by professional

electricians.

Use the checklist here – (see attachment)

to conduct an electrical safety inspection of your workplace. Add the citation for the OSHA standard

for each question. In the comments section for each item, include your recommendations for correcting the violations. If a

checklist item does not apply to your organization, explain why in the comments. In the summary section at the end of the

checklist, discuss the significance of any noncompliance you found, and identify the types of injuries that might result if the

violations are left uncorrected.

If you did not find any noncompliance, discuss what your organization does to prevent electrical safety violations and

electrical injuries. Compile the checklist information into a report that outlines the major issues, if any, found in your

workplace.

The case study should be a minimum of two pages in length (double-spaced), including the completed checklist. The report

must follow APA guidelines for formatting, and the report must include a title page and reference page.
