Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A 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) Facility Wide - On or about January 21, 2019, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with electrical and thermal hazards when replacing a pump on a boiler. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as lockout/tagout devices were not applied to the electrical disconnect [per the 1910.147(d)(4) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving dissipation of residual energy ](d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from servicing hazards. In accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete and must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase, or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence of abatement, or other written records.
