Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.272(g)(1)(ii): Prior to entry, all mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic equipment which presented a danger to employees inside grain storage structures in the grain handling facility were not disconnected, locked out and tagged, blocked-off, or otherwise prevented from operating by other equally effective means or methods. On or about July 20, 2018 and at times prior thereto, the employer did not lock out or secure the pin chute on the bottom of the silo prior to assigning employees to enter the side door of the grain silo into a confined space. This condition exposed employees to the hazard of becoming trapped in the chute during an engulfment.
