Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.147(d): Application of control. The established procedures for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) shall cover the following elements and actions and shall be done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6). On or about October 12, 2023, employees were exposed to moving parts of the WFL pressure conveyor while performing maintenance and servicing activities such as but not limited to changeover. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work [per the 1910.147 (d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], LOTO device application [(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards. The Overhead Door Corporation was previously cited for a violation of this Occupational Safety and Health standard 29 CFR 1910.147(d), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1378859, citation number 1, item number 2b and was affirmed as a final order on May 16, 2019, with respect to a workplace located at 1295 E. Fairground, Marion, OH 43302.
