Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR��1910.147(d): The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) did not cover the actions listed in and was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6): a) On or about November 16, 2022, the employer did not ensure Maintenance employees were protected from pinch points and moving parts on the Line H Quantum Sauce Depositor E10282, Model #QTJK6000, Serial #QTJK6001501, when performing maintenance and repairs. The employer did not implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform maintenance and adjustments [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], LOTO device application [(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine hazards associated with the Line H Quantum Sauce Depositor E10282. b) On or about November 16, 2022, the employer did not ensure Quality Assurance employees were protected from pinch points and moving parts from the Line H Quantum Sauce Depositor E10282 when performing inspection of the equipment. The employer did not implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform a physical inspection of the equipment [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], LOTO device application [(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine hazards associated with the Line H Quantum Sauce Depositor E10282. c) On or about November 16, 2022, the employer did not ensure Sanitation employees were protected from pinch points and moving parts from the Line H Quantum Sauce Depositor E10282 when performing cleaning of the equipment. The employer did not implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform sanitation of the equipment [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], LOTO device application [(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine hazards associated with the Line H Quantum Sauce Depositor E10282. In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence of abatement, or other written records.
