29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(i): Procedures were not developed, documented and utilized for the control of potentially hazardous energy when employees were engaged in activities covered by this section: (a) Soup Packing Line - The metal detector conveyor, with Lock Inspection Systems MET 30+ head, serial number 40842/2, had electrical and pneumatic energy sources. The employer's written machine-specific procedure for this piece of equipment did not include pneumatic energy (which powered the reject pusher) and so did not include steps for how to de-energize and lockout/tagout the pneumatic energy, exposing employees to getting struck-by and caught-in moving machine parts, on or about August 30, 2023.
