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.
