Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 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 area - On or about October 16, 2017, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts and in-running nip points while performing set-up operations on a Mark Andy 2200 Label Press, including threading the web. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the press 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 employees from machine servicing hazards. No abatement certification or documentation is required for this item.
