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 or about October 24, 2022 the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to perform service and maintenance activities on the #4 Barber Colman manufactured gear hobbing machine Model NO. 6-10 6-16 6-20. Employees were exposed to caught-in and amputation hazards associated with ingoing nip points and rotating parts while performing activities, including, but not limited to, machine set-up, removing and installing feed and index gears, removing and installing cutting tools (hobbs), shifting hobbs, and lubricating parts. b) On or about October 24, 2022 the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to perform service and maintenance activities on the #64 Barber Colman manufactured gear hobbing machine Model NO. 6-10 6-16 6-20. Employees were exposed to caught-in and amputation hazards associated with ingoing nip points and rotating parts while performing activities, including, but not limited to, machine set-up, removing and installing feed and index gears, removing and installing cutting tools (hobbs), shifting hobbs, and lubricating parts. c) On or about October 24, 2022 the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to perform service and maintenance activities on the #22 Barber Colman manufactured gear hobbing machine Model NO. 3. Employees were exposed to caught-in and amputation hazards associated with ingoing nip points and rotating parts while performing activities, including, but not limited to, machine set-up, removing and installing feed and index gears, removing and installing cutting tools (hobbs), shifting hobbs, and lubricating parts. d) On or about October 24, 2022 the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to perform service and maintenance activities on the #55 Barber Colman manufactured gear hobbing machine Model NO. 3. Employees were exposed to caught-in and amputation hazards associated with ingoing nip points and rotating parts while performing activities, including, but not limited to, machine set-up, removing and installing feed and index gears, removing and installing cutting tools (hobbs), shifting hobbs, and lubricating parts. e) On or about October 25, 2022 the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to perform service and maintenance activities on the #10 Barber Colman manufactured gear hobbing machine Model NO. 6-10 6-16 6-20. Employees were exposed to caught-in and amputation hazards associated with ingoing nip points and rotating parts while performing activities, including, but not limited to, machine set-up, removing and installing feed and index gears, removing and installing cutting tools (hobbs), shifting hobbs, and lubricating parts. f) On or about October 25, 2022 the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to perform service and maintenance activities on the #69 Barber Colman manufactured gear hobbing machine Model NO. 6-10 6-16 6-20. Employees were exposed to caught-in and amputation hazards associated with ingoing nip points and rotating parts while performing activities, including, but not limited to, machine set-up, removing and installing feed and index gears, removing and installing cutting tools (hobbs), shifting hobbs, and lubricating parts. g) On or about October 25, 2022 the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to perform service and maintenance activities on the #30 Barber Colman manufactured gear hobbing machine Model NO. 3. Employees were exposed to caught-in and amputation hazards associated with ingoing nip points and rotating parts while performing activities, including, but not limited to, machine set-up, removing and installing feed and index gears, removing and installing cutting tools (hobbs), shifting hobbs, and lubricating parts. h) On or about October 26, 2022 the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to perform service and maintenance activities on the #41 Barber Colman manufactured gear hobbing machine Model NO. 2 1/2 - 4. Employees were exposed to caught-in and amputation hazards associated with ingoing nip points and rotating parts while performing activities, including, but not limited to, machine set-up, removing and installing feed and index gears, removing and installing cutting tools (hobbs), shifting hobbs, and lubricating parts. i) On or about October 26, 2022 the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to perform service and maintenance activities on the #14 Barber Colman manufactured gear hobbing machine Model NO. 2 1/2 - 4. Employees were exposed to caught-in and amputation hazards associated with ingoing nip points and rotating parts while performing activities, including, but not limited to, machine set-up, removing and installing feed and index gears, removing and installing cutting tools (hobbs), shifting hobbs, and lubricating parts. 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, likely to result in serious injury. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
