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)-(6): On or about April 9, 2019, an employee was exposed to machine hazards associated with in-going nip points when they engaged in servicing and maintenance activities on the Capper Machine on Line #3. The employer did not ensure that energy control application steps to control the electrical and pneumatic energy sources were implemented prior to allowing employees to adjust torque for the Capper wheels. The machine was not shut down or turned off prior to engaging in this service and maintenance activity. 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.
