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) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): a. On or about October 28, 2020, on Packing Line 1, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts while clearing a jam on the backside of the line. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as all energy isolating devices that were needed to control the energy to the machine were not utilized prior to clearing the jam on the machine [per the 1910.147(d)(3) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements involving LOTO device application [(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)] were not performed.
