Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B 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) Processing Room #1 - On or about March 16, 2017, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with rotating and moving parts during servicing of the All-fill Screw Conveyor, which involved clearing product from the conveyor. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work [per 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining 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 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.
