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) Production - On February 26, 2025, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with the changing out of dies during set up on equipment such as but not limited to the #128 Baird 4 multi slide machine. The employer did not implement energy control application steps such as but not limited to lockout tagout when performing these tasks [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving dissipation 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. In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence of abatement, or other written records.
