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) Packing Robot 10/11 - On or about October 25, 2019, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when performing sanitation on equipment such as but not limited to the Packaging Robot. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps such as LOTO devices were not applied to the electrical disconnect [per the 1910.147(d)(4) requirements].
