29 CFR 1910.147(d): The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedure) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): a) Chocolate Line- On or about October 17, 2018, an employee was exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts and pinch point hazards during the sanitation of Tempering Kettle #1. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the equipment was not stopped, shutdown or turned off [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving isolation of the equipment [(d)(4)(i)] dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine 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. 1-800 Flowers Retail Inc. dba The Popcorn Factory, Inc. was previously cited for a violation of an equivalent Occupational Safety and Health Standard 1910.147(d), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1107572, citation number 1, item number 6 and was affirmed as a final order on May 31, 2016, with respect to a workplace located at 13970 W.
