Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) had not covered the actions listed in and had not been done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6): On or about September 24, 2021, an employee was exposed to amputation hazards and received an amputation injury, while checking beneath the Blender for pigment clogging, and the employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform the servicing 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)], dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect the employee from machine servicing hazards.
