Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedure) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): On or about January 24, 2023, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts, in-going nip points, and thermal hazards during the servicing of the Alvey 800 Palletizer Serial #: 238163-01. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], LOTO device application [(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
