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 procedures) did not cover the actions listed in and was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6): a.) Hot End, Line B8 - On or about January 31, 2024, while performing service and maintenance on the Line B8 Emhart Glass IS Bottle Machine, an employee was exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts, including pinch-point, crush, struck-by, and amputation, while performing a mold change on the Line B8 Emhart IS Glass Machine. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], LOTO device application [(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)((i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
