Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): The established procedures for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): a. On or about June 5, 2021, employees were exposed to a caught in hazard while servicing a barrier gate that was stuck on the exit end of the CNS Mill. The employer did not ensure that energy control application steps were implemented 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 stored energy [(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from the machine servicing hazard.
