17.55 This chapter concludes those related to the General Industry standards. If the reader has been studying the chapters of this book sequentially, then at this point he or she should

have a great deal of familiarity with the OSHA General Industry standards and the database tool on the Companion Website for examining inspection statistics for these standards. In previous chapters, this text has assigned specific questions for “STANDARDS RESEARCH QUESTIONS.” In this chapter, however, rather than address specific questions for research related to electrical standards, it is suggested that the reader go “browsing” in the OSHA General Industry electrical standards, using the OSHA website. Try to relate the standards to topics that were discussed in this chapter. Try to pick out particular provisions in the OSHA standard that you reason would be frequently cited. Check whether your theories are correct by querying the Companion Website database for your selected provisions to see whether they are indeed frequently cited. Try to pick out standards that OSHA would cite as “serious” violations in many cases. Check the Companion Website database to determine whether your intuition about these standards is correct.
