Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005A 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 May 2, 2017, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in cleaning activities. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to clean augers controlled by the Dutch Technical Service system. The equipment was not shut down or turned off, isolated, locked out, nor verification of isolation performed prior to engaging in this servicing activity. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [1910.147(d)(3)], lockout/tagout device application [1910.147(d)(4)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
