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 June 2, 2022, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts and in-going nip points, while an employee performed preventive maintenance by applying grease to the Littell Coil Leveler/Straightener zerk grease fittings during the normal production mode of operation. The servicing and maintenance activity was performed on the AIDA press system, and involved an employee who was not an authorized employee. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off 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.
