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): On or about March 18, 2019, employees who conducted servicing and maintenance activities on the pulley belt driving Fan 29 including, but not limited to, changing the belt, were exposed to mechanical hazards associated with high moving parts and in-going nip points and electrical energy sources. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not prepared for shutdown [(d)(1)] or shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work [(d)(2)]. 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 servicing hazards.
