Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.147(c)(6)(i): The employer did not conduct a periodic inspection of the energy control procedure at least annually to ensure that the procedure and the requirement of this standard were being followed: The employer failed to conduct annual periodic reviews of the written specific procedures used as part of the company lockout and tag out (LOTO) program where employees in the Agronomy department are exposed to electrical shock, crushing, or amputation hazards. This was most recently documented during the inspection conducted on August 21, 2018 at the facility located at 87798 429th Ave, Ainsworth, NE 69210. LOTO is required while employees are performing maintenance on conveyors, legs, pumps, facility electrical systems, and sprayers. The employer has machine specific written procedures as part of the written LOTO program; however, the procedures have not been formally reviewed within the past year as outlined in this subpart.
