Switches, switchboards, and circuit breakers shall be weatherproof in wet
locations. A switchboard that has exposed live parts must be located in an area that is not subject to wetness or dampness. One purpose of 1910.305 is to lessen the chance of severe shock if a worker accidentally comes into contact with the live parts. Additionally, only qualified persons may have access to switchboards with exposed live parts. To limit access, the switchboard should be located in a locked room or within a locked cage or fenced area. Keys to the locks should be controlled to ensure that only properly trained personnel are allowed to enter the area. |
