Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): Application of control. The established procedures for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) shall cover the following elements and actions and shall be done in the following sequence: as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6). a. On or about March 7, 2025, an employee was exposed to pinch point hazards when performing service and maintenance covered activities on the Line 1 Filler. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off, [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements] when performing cleaning washdown activities on the Line 1 Filler. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], LOTO device application [(d)(4)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine hazards.
