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: On or about November 15, 2023, the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to perform service and maintenance activities on the Castec manufactured High-Speed Continuous Sand Mixer, model Celecta-Flo CEL-100. Employees were exposed to caught-in and amputation hazards associated with the unexpected energization and residual energy of the machine's spinning auger blade during service and maintenance activities, including, but not limited to, cleaning. 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. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
