Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7)(i)(A): Authorized employee(s) do not receive training in the recognition of applicable hazardous energy sources, the type and magnitude of the energy available in the workplace, and the methods and means necessary for energy isolation: The employer does not provide hazardous energy control (lockout/tagout) training for employees authorized to perform servicing and maintenance activities on equipment such as, but not limited to, the trim saw and waste conveyor. (a) As the investigation disclosed, throughout the facility, from the period of May 7, 2013 through and including May 21, 2013. Employees are exposed to hazardous energy during servicing and maintenance activities on the equipment such as, but not limited to, the trim saw and waste conveyor because the employer failed to provide training to inform authorized employees of the purpose of an energy control program, types of energy, and means for isolating hazardous sources of energy. To abate this hazard in the future, ensure that each employee receives hazardous energy control (lockout/tagout) training upon initial hire and annually thereafter; inform them of the purpose of their energy control program, types of hazardous energy, and means for identifying and isolating sources of hazardous energy by implementing standardized training protocol/procedures for hazardous energy control (Lockout/tagout) and assigning the responsibility of overseeing and/or leading hazardous energy control (Lockout/tagout) training. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance, including a description of their abatement plan for ensuring that all employees receive hazardous energy control (Lockout/tagout) prior to conducting work related activities and amendments to their hazardous energy control (Lockout/tagout) identifying specifically who will conduct energy isolation training and procedures/protocols to be followed during the initial and annual training sessions.
