Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B 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) On or about December 31, 2021, at an establishment located at 1330 Glory Road, Green Bay, Wisconsin, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in "stoning" activities on Card 2 of Line #3. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps or equivalent protective measures prior to allowing them to complete the stoning task. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in the servicing / maintenance activity. b) On or about December 29, 2021, at an establishment located at 1250 Glory Road, Green Bay, Wisconsin, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in threading activities on the Padder/Aperture Section on Line #1. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps or equivalent protective measures prior to allowing them to thread the web into rollers. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in the servicing / maintenance activity. c) On or about January 10, 2022, at an establishment located at 1250 Glory Road, Green Bay, Wisconsin, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in threading activities on the Perfo-Jet Section on Line #2. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps or equivalent protective measures prior to allowing them to thread the web into rollers.
