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) On or about February 2, 2024, at the establishment located at 306 Park Street, Spencer, Wisconsin; in the Slice Department, an employee was exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in sanitation activities on the Stuffer Box (ID#: UN#310-04 EQ#759943). The employer did not ensure that an employee had implemented energy control application steps or equivalent protective measures prior to allowing them to perform sanitation. The machine was not deenergized, such as but not limited to electrical, prior to the employee engaging in the servicing / maintenance activity. b) On or about February 3, 2024, at the establishment located at 306 Park Street, Spencer, Wisconsin; in the Loaf Department, one employee was exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in sanitation activities on the Barrel Dump Conveyor. The employer did not ensure that an employee had implemented energy control application steps or equivalent protective measures prior to allowing them to perform sanitation. The machine was not lockout out, such as but not limited to electrical, prior to the employee engaging in the servicing / maintenance activity. c) On or about February 3, 2024, at the establishment located at 306 Park Street, Spencer, Wisconsin; in the Slice Department, an employee was exposed to machine associated with moving parts when they engaged in changeover activities on the Wrapper 2 (ID#: UN#310-21 EQ#759964). The employer did not ensure that an employee had implemented energy control application steps or equivalent protective measures prior to allowing them to perform changeover. The machine was not deenergized, such as but not limited to electrical, gravity, and pneumatic, prior to the employee engaging in the servicing / maintenance activity. d) On or about February 3, 2024, at the establishment located at 306 Park Street, Spencer, Wisconsin; in the Custom Department, two employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in sanitation activities on the Cook Hopper. The employer did not ensure that the two employees had implemented energy control application steps or equivalent protective measures prior to allowing them to perform sanitation. The machine was not deenergized, such as but not limited to electrical, 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.
