Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.147(c)(6)(i)(A): The periodic inspection of the energy control procedure was not performed by an authorized employee other than the one utilizing the energy control procedure being inspected: a) On or about February 19, 2025, and at times prior, the employer, Clear Creek Skiing Corporation, did not ensure periodic inspections of the energy control procedures pertaining to the Mini Magic Carpet surface lift, the Rainbow Carpet surface lift, and the Ski School Carpet surface lift were performed by an authorized employee other than the ones utilizing the energy control procedure being inspected. Employees were required to perform daily, weekly, and as-needed maintenance activities on these surface lifts when the lifts were in an energized state. Procedures utilized to control hazardous energy during maintenance activities on these surface lifts did not render the lifts inoperable, which deviated from written policies in the employer's Hazardous Energy Control Program. These inadequacies were not identified nor corrected. This condition exposed employees to an unexpected release of hazardous energy that could result in death from caught-in injuries.
