Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A 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: a. On or about July 18, 2016, located at the furnace #2 on the melt deck, employees were positioning the furnace in order to remove a pin while equipment and employees were still under the furnace. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps prior to positioning as the furnace was not shut down [per the 1910.147(d)(2)], sources of energy of 480 volt electrical disconnects isolated [(d)(3)] with LOTO device application [(d)(4)], the dissipation of residual energy in the hydraulics [(d)(5)] and the verification of isolation [(d)(6)], thereby exposing the employees to struck-by and/or caught-between hazard.
