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 as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6): On or about February 2, 2022, at a workplace located at 2358 West Packard Street, Appleton, WI in the Bella Drying Room: employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in troubleshooting the Marchant Schmidt incline screw auger. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to troubleshoot the machine exposing them to pinch point hazards created by the rotating auger. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in the servicing/maintenance 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 [1910.147(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
