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 the following sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): a. On or about August 14, 2019 and at times thereto, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts and nip points while sanitizing and cleaning the Line 1 production equipment in the Pie Crust Room. The employer did not implement energy control application steps as the machines were not shut down or turned off to perform the work [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, energy isolation [(d)(3)], LOTO device application [(d)(4)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from the machine servicing hazards.
