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 March 8, 2022, at an establishment located at N2467 Vaughan Road, in Waupaca, Wisconsin; in the North Core Room, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in setup activities on the L20. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps or equivalent protective measures prior to allowing them to unbolt the blow head and gas plate and top vertical rod. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in the servicing / maintenance activity. 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(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine hazards.
