Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): Application of control. The established procedures for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) shall cover the following elements and actions and shall be done in the following sequence: a. On or about March 22, 2023 and days prior, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts during servicing activities on the Kannegiesser Shuttle, such as clearing linen from the sensing eye. The employer did not ensure that energy control application steps were implemented as the Kannegieser Shuttle 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.
