Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
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) Toyoda FA630 Horizontal Machining Center and load station/North East of Shop - on or about February 15-18, 2016 employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving machine parts while performing maintenance on the proximity switches. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not properly shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements involving machine isolation, LOTO device application, dissipation of residual energy, and verification of isolation were not implanted to protect employees from potential amputation and crushing hazards. b) Mazak 510 Vertical Machining Center/North End of Shop - on or about February 15-18, 2016 employees were exposed to machine hazards associated moving machine parts and in-going nip points while they disassembled the chain from the sprockets for the motor drive and unjammed an accumulation of metal chips caught in a shaft and belt. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not properly shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements involving machine isolation, LOTO device application, dissipation of residual energy, and verification of isolation were not implanted to protect employees from potential amputation and crushing hazards. c) Toyoda FA450 Horizontal Machining Center/South West End of Shop - on or about February 16, 2016 employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving machine parts while replacing curtains and filters. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not properly shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements involving machine isolation, LOTO device application, dissipation of residual energy, and verification of isolation were not implanted to protect employees from potential amputation and crushing hazards.
