Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(ii): The energy control procedures did not clearly and specifically outline the scope, purpose, authorization, rules, and techniques to be utilized for the control of hazardous energy, including, but not limited to items of this section: a) On or about February 19, 2025, and at times prior, the employer, Clear Creek Skiing Corporation, did not ensure energy control procedures for the Magic Carpet surface lifts in The Valley clearly and specifically outlined the scope, purpose, authorization, rules, and techniques to be utilized for the control of hazardous energy. Employees were required to perform daily, weekly, and as-needed maintenance activities on the Mini Magic Carpet surface lift, the Rainbow Carpet surface lift, and the Ski School Carpet surface lift when the lifts were in an energized state. The employer's energy control procedures for surface lifts did not include a scope, the purpose, authorization information, procedural rules, and techniques to be utilized for the control of hazardous energy. In addition to those deficiencies, the procedural steps for energy control did not function to render the lifts inoperative by isolating them from the energy source, and did not include steps to test and verify the effectiveness of the energy control measures. This condition exposed employees to an unexpected release of hazardous energy that could result in severe injury or death. Abatement Note: The procedures shall include but are not limited to the following items: 1. A specific statement of the intended use of the procedure: 2. Specific procedural steps for shutting down, isolating, blocking and securing machines or equipment to control hazardous energy; 3. Specific procedural steps for the placement, removal and transfer of lockout devices or tagout devices and the responsibility for them; and 4. Specific requirements for testing a machine or equipment to determine and verify the effectiveness of lockout devices, tagout devices, and other energy control measures.
