Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d)(3): All energy isolating devices that were needed to control the energy to the machine or equipment were not physically located and operated in such a manner as to isolate the machine or equipment from the energy source: The employer does not ensure all energy isolating devices that are needed to control the energy to the machine or equipment are physically located and operated in such a manner as to isolate the machine or equipment from the energy source. In the Zone 2/CAT Wickes Boiler Area the employer did not ensure all energy isolating devices for the lockout/tagout of the fuel gas and purchased gas supply lines such as, but not limited to, the control valves (FC 702 & FC 704) and bleed valves to the Wickes Boiler were physically located and operated in such a manner as to isolate the machine or equipment from the energy source. Employees were exposed to fire and explosion hazards from potential releases of fuel gas and other flammable liquids or gasses. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date the employer must submit documentation showing it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure all energy isolating devices that are needed to control the energy to the machine or equipment are physically located and operated in such a manner as to isolate the machine or equipment from the energy source.
