Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): Application of control. The established procedures for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) shall cover the following elements and actions and shall be done in the following sequence: a. On and/or before December 11, 2019, in the production area, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts during the clearing of jams and/or other activities in and/or around the Blueberry screener. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down to perform the servicing work [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. 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. On or about December, 11, 2019, an employee's gloved hand became caught-in the idler roller area of the Blueberry screener resulting in fractures and a hospitalization while clearing a jam.
