Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7)(i): The employer did not provide training to ensure that the purpose and function of the energy control program are understood by employees and that the knowledge and skills required for the safe application, usage, and removal of the energy controls are acquired by employees: On or about June 1, 2017 employees were exposed to amputation hazards while performing set-up (servicing) at the point of operation and were not protected from unexpected start-up. Employees were not adequately trained to ensure that they acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to safely apply and use of hazardous energy isolation (lockout/tagout) for servicing bolt header machines. Employees were permitted to rely on machine controls and switches rather than using lockout/tagout. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
