Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedure) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): On or about February 21, 2023, the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to clean the 5FT Roller by hand in the Ram Group Department. The 5FT Roller was not shut down or locked out prior to employees engaging in this servicing and maintenance activity, exposing them to pinch/nip point hazards and amputation injuries. 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 hazards. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
