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) did not cover the actions listed in and was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6) On or about February 17, 2022, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts, in-going nip points during the servicing and blade replacement of a saw blade, of the Tannewitz bandsaw, located in the south end of the facility. The employee failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not prepared for shutdown [per the 1910.147(d)(1) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving shutting down the machine[(d)(2)], 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 employees from machine servicing hazards.
