Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 016B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d)(4)(i): Lockout or tagout devices were not affixed to each energy isolating device by authorized employees. The employer does not ensure that authorzed employees affix a lockout or tagout device to the energy isolating device(s) before working on the machine or equipment. The violation occurred on or about December 14, 2012 in the liquid propane storage/pump where the employer failed to ensure a personal lockout or tagout device to the inlet and outlet valves to the liquid propane pumps on the 30,000-gallon storage tanks. This condition exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards. 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 a personal lockout or tagout device was affixed to the machine or equipment before working on the machine or equipment.
