Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): Application of control. The established procedures for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) did not cover the following elements and actions and was not done in the following sequence: a. On or about May 15, 2017, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with nip points when they engaged in servicing and maintenance activities on equipment located in the Can Assembly Department. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps during set-up activities, exposing them to amputation injuries from chain and sprocket assemblies on Line 2. The machines were not shut down or turned off prior to engaging in these servicing and maintenance activity. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [1910.147(d)(3)], lockout/tagout device application [1910.147 (d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [1910.147 (d)(5)(I)], and verification of isolation [1910.147 (d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
