Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001C 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): On or about June 25, 2024, an employee was exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts, in-going nip points, and thermal hazards while performing maintenance activities on the ERSA Versaflow 40/50 Soldering machine. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. 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.
