Employees were exposed to hazards such as but not limited to amputation hazards. b) On or about November 7, 2022 in the Solids Department, operators and employees that assisted with the operation were not trained as authorized employees on the methods and means necessary for energy isolation and control to lockout the hazardous energy such as but not limited to electric, pneumatic, and stored energy on the 1000 Hydromat moulder when unjamming and cleaning inside the equipment exposing them to hazards from cutting heads, wheels, rollers, belts and pulleys, chains and sprockets, and gears. Employees were exposed to hazards such as but not limited to amputation hazards. c) On or about October 17, 2022 in the Moulder Department operators and employees that assisted with the operation were not trained as authorized employees on the methods and means necessary for energy isolation and control to lockout the hazardous energy such as but not limited to electric, pneumatic, and stored energy on the 2400 Powermat moulder when unjamming and cleaning inside the equipment exposing them to hazards from cutting heads, wheels, rollers, belts and pulleys, chains and sprockets, and gears. Employees were exposed to hazards such as but not limited to amputation hazards. d) On or about October 18, 2022 in the Herringbone Department, operators and employees that assisted with the operation were not trained as authorized employees on the methods and means necessary for energy isolation and control to lockout the hazardous energy such as but not limited to electric, pneumatic, and stored energy on the Opticut 200 Elite Saw when unjamming and cleaning inside the equipment exposing them to hazards from sawblades, rollers, belts and pulleys, and chains and sprockets. Employees were exposed to hazards such as but not limited to amputation hazards. e) On or about October 18, 2022 in the Frame Department, operators and employees that assisted with the operation were not trained as authorized employees on the methods and means necessary for energy isolation and control to lockout the hazardous energy such as but not limited to electric and pneumatic energy on the Wintersteiger band saw when cleaning and performing preventive maintenance exposing them to hazards from saw blades, wheels, rollers, belts and pulleys, chains and sprockets, and gears. Employees were exposed to hazards such as but not limited to amputation hazards. f) On or about October 18, 2022 in the Frame Department, operators and employees that assisted with the operation were not trained as authorized employees on the methods and means necessary for energy isolation and control to lockout the hazardous energy such as but not limited to electric and pneumatic energy on the Neva frame saw when cleaning and performing preventive maintenance exposing them to hazards from saw blades, wheels, rollers, belts and pulleys, chains and sprockets, and gears. Employees were exposed to hazards such as but not limited to amputation hazards. g) On or about October 21, 2022 in the Engineering Department, operators and employees that assisted with the operation were not trained as authorized employees on the methods and means necessary for energy isolation and control to lockout the hazardous energy such as but not limited to electric and pneumatic energy on the conveyors, the chop saws, and the Hasko saws when unjamming and cleaning inside, around, and under the equipment exposing them to hazards from saw blades, belts and pulleys, chains and sprockets, and gears. Employees were exposed to hazards such as but not limited to amputation hazards. h) On or about October 17, 2022 and the Glue Room, operators and employees that assisted with the operation were not trained as authorized on the methods and means necessary for energy isolation and control to lockout the hazardous energy such as but not limited to electric energy on the Single Line and Double Line Gluer Press when unjamming the equipment exposing ingoing rollers. Employees were exposed to hazards such as but not limited to amputation hazards.
