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) Pit Mounted Centrifugal Casting Machine "A Spinner": On or about April 26, 2021, the employer did not ensure employees implemented energy control procedures prior to entering the machine pit to perform die setup procedures. The "A Spinner" machine was not isolated from energy sources prior to engaging in these setup and maintenance activities. (b) Pit Mounted Centrifugal Casting Machine "B Spinner": On or about April 26, 2021, the employer did not ensure employees implemented energy control procedures prior to entering the machine pit to perform die setup procedures . The "B Spinner" machine was not isolated from energy sources prior to engaging in these setup and maintenance activities. As a result, the applicable energy control elements, involving preparation for shutdown{1910.147(d)(1)], machine or equipment shutdown [1910.147(d)(2)], machine isolation [1910.147(d)(3)], lock-out/tag-out 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 the unexpected energization, startup, or release of stored energy during machine servicing and maintenance activities.
