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) On or about December 2019, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in repair activities on the Viking 304A Classic. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to replace a block for the stringer rail. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in the servicing / maintenance activity. (b) On or about March 17, 2020, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in setup activities on the Viking 304A Classic. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allow them to be in the bed of the table to move stringer locations. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in the set-up activity. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [1910.147(d)(3)], lockout/tagout device application [1910.147(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [1910(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine hazards.
