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 January 27, 2023, and at times thereto, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts during servicing and maintenance activities on machinery which included but is not limited to shear presses. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as LOTO devices were not applied to the electrical disconnect [per the 1910.147(d)(4) requirements] and blocks were not installed. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards. The following condition exposed employees to caught-in and struck-by hazards.
