Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A 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) Avnet Machine #6 ; On or about May 4, 2021 and at times prior to employees were exposed to machine hazards associated moving machine parts and in-going nip points while they were replacing spacers within the guarded portion of the Avnet #6 die cast 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 from the energy source [(d)(3)], and securing LOTO device to the energy isolating device (disconnect) [(d)(4)(i)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
