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 December 3, 2019 employees were exposed to coke oven gas containing high levels of carbon monoxide during the isolation and blanking of gas lines. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as LOTO devices were not applied to lock open the water lines hooked up to water seal valves [per 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 servicing hazards.
