Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A 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) Courtyard Area- On or about July 5, 2018, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts and pinch point hazards during the maintenance and servicing of the Glue and Roll Coat Lines Oxidizer 1097. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as lockout tagout (LOTO) devices were not applied to the electrical disconnect, gas supply valve, and three pneumatic valves [per the 1910.147(d)(4) requirements. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards. 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.
