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): (a) Cook Room - On November 20, 2023, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when disassembling parts for sanitation purposes on the Number 1 Weiler Model 6 Grinder. The employer did not implement energy control application steps as the machine was not locked out to disassemble/assemble equipment to perform sanitation duties [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving dissipation 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. No abatement certification or documentation is required for this item.
