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

29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7)(i)(A): Authorized employee(s) did not receive training in the recognition of applicable hazardous energy sources, the type and magnitude of the energy available in the workplace, and the methods and means necessary for energy isolation: (a) Owens Corning Roofing and Asphalt, LLC at 5201 Fox St., Denver, CO: On and around June 18, 2019, the employer did not train the supervisor and did not effectively train three authorized employees on the machine specific, energy control procedures for the control of potentially hazardous energy with machines or equipment for work activities associated with clearing asphalt clogs in pipes with steam, when the clogs formed within the asphalt surge tank and coater system. Machines and equipment in the system requiring lock out included but were not limited to the asphalt surge tank suction valve, asphalt pump, and steam system. These conditions potentially exposed employees to steam burn hazards and solid asphalt struck-by hazards from the steam line system and exposed employees to burn splash hazards from hot liquid asphalt in the surge tank, resulting in each employee suffering multiple skin burns.
