Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002D 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 the following sequence: a. On or about September 10, 2021 and at times prior, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts during service and maintenance of Pacesetter # 2, Pocket # 3. The employer did not implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down and turned off prior to performing work [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], LOTO device application [(d)(4)] and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect the employee from machine servicing hazards.
