Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003B 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 September 27, 2016, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in tool change activities on the Davenport and Acme screw machines in the Machine Shop. The employer did not ensure that Machinist employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to reach into the Davenport and Acme screw machines to conduct tool changes. The machines were not deenergized prior to the employees engaging in the tool changes. 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 [1910.147(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
