Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 012 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedure) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): b) Polishing Area- On or about June 8, 2016, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts and in-going nip points during servicing of the Rite Speed & Chas Polishing Machines. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machines were not shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work [per the 1910.(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining application energy control elements, involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], LOTO device application [(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards. In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence of abatement, or other written records.
