29 CFR 1910.147(d)(5)(i): All potentially hazardous stored or residual energy was not relieved, disconnected, restrained or otherwise rendered safe after the application of lockout or tagout devices to energy isolating devices: The employer does not ensure all potentially hazardous stored or residual energy is relieved, disconnected, restrained or otherwise rendered safe after the application of lockout or tagout devices to energy isolating devices. In the Zone 2/CAT Wickes Boiler Area the employer did not ensure all potentially hazardous stored or residual energy was relieved after the application of lockout or tagout devices such as between the two control valves (FC 702 and FC 704) on the fuel gas and purchased gas supply lines to the Wickes Boiler. 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 potentially hazardous stored or residual energy is relieved, disconnected, restrained or otherwise rendered safe after the application of lockout or tagout devices to energy isolating devices.
