Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B 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 sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6): On or about March 20, 2018, an employee was exposed to caught-in hazards and ingoing nip points of an exposed chain and sprocket driving the box rake on a HK Systems Model VG2200-4840-LH-REPD palletizer #1 located in the distribution center. The employer did not ensure employees implemented energy control application steps prior to them engaging in clearing jams on the palletizer. An employee attempted to clear a box jam with the machine energized resulting in the box rake cycling after the box was removed from the photo eye. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in the servicing/maintenance activity. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [1910.147(d)(3)], lockout/tagout device application [1910.147(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [1910.147(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
