29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(ii): The control of hazardous energy. The procedures shall clearly and specifically outline the scope, purpose, authorization, rules, and techniques to be utilized for the control of hazardous energy, and the means to enforce compliance including, but not limited to, the following: (A) A specific statement of the intended use of the procedure; (B) Specific procedural steps for shutting down, isolating, blocking and securing machines or equipment to control hazardous energy; (C) Specific procedural steps for the placement, removal and transfer of lockout devices or tagout devices and the responsibility for them; and (D) Specific requirements for testing a machine or equipment to determine and verify the effectiveness of lockout devices, tagout devices, and other energy control measures. a) On or about February 11, 2022, during setup and cleanup, the AIDA 2000 mechanical power press lockout procedure was inadequate in that it did not contain a statement of intended use, so the procedure was only being used when the pneumatics were being worked on. b) On or about February 11th, 2022, the AIDA 2000 mechanical power press lockout procedure did not contain specific procedural steps for isolating gravitational energy from the ram. c) On or about February 11th, 2022, the AIDA 2000 mechanical power press lockout procedure did not contain specific procedural steps for the removal of lockout tagout devices. d) On or about February 11th, 2022, the AIDA 2000 mechanical power press lockout procedure did not contain specific procedural steps to verify the isolation of electrical and pneumatic energy.
