Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 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 sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6): On or about September 29, 2018, an employee was exposed to the pinch point created by a resin feed auger in the Universal Dynamics Corp. resin bin #2 located in the resin area. The employer did not ensure employees implemented energy control application steps prior to them engaging in clearing the bin indicator on the resin totalizer. An employee cleared the bin indicator located on the side of the bin and then reached into the bin to remove additional lose resin to prevent it from clogging. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in the servicing/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.
