Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001C 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 as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): a. Located in the Extrusion Department of the facility: On or about May 12, 2017, the Line Z1 extrusion operator was exposed to moving parts and ingoing nip points while unjamming material under the middle trim saw after performing a product changeover. The employer did not ensure that the exposed employee implemented 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 the employee from machine servicing hazards.
