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 procedure) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): On or about February 21, 2022, the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to enter the scrap conveyor cage and remove product that had not fed correctly into the stacker. The machine was not shut down or turned off prior to employees engaging in this servicing and maintenance activity, exposing them to struck-by and crushing hazards from the unexpected movement of the machine. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [1910.147(d)(3)], lockout/tagout device application [1910.147(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [1910.147(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine hazards. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
