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: On or about October 19, 2020, an employee was exposed to machine hazards associated with rotating rollers when engaged in adjustment work such as but not limited to adjusting the gap between the set of rollers on the Roskamp roller mill. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to adjustment work. The machine was not rendered safe 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(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine hazards.
