This violation occurred on or about September 17, 2014, at the facility where maintenance employees were exposed to caught-in and struck-by hazards when performing service and/or maintenance tasks on equipment such as, but not limited to, mixers and grain elevators without specifically outlining the steps for isolating energy to the equipment. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that energy control procedures specifically outline the steps for shutting down or isolating equipment to control hazardous energy.
