Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d):Application of control. The established procedures for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): a. On or about February 3, 2022, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts during servicing and cleaning of the Black Brothers Laminator Machine (Serial #: 313552). 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)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
