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 January 25, 2022, with respect to an establishment located at 2121 Brooks Ave, Neenah, WI 54946, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in a servicing activity for the "head" of the Palmer sand auger in Core Room 2. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to remove a lower chute for cleaning. An employee slipped in the area and inadvertently placed their hand in the opening of the auger resulting in partial amputations to four fingers of the left hand.
