Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d)(2): Machine or equipment shutdown. The machine or equipment shall be turned off or shut down using the procedures established for the machine or equipment. An orderly shutdown must be utilized to avoid any additional or increased hazard(s) to employees as a result of the equipment stoppage. a. On or about July 5, 2016, located on Line 302, at Extruder A (Asset number EX-054), the employer failed to shut down or turn off the conveyor line after it had been separated from the extruder during cleaning and set-up operations to run new rubber, thereby exposing the employees to the hazards of the inrunning nip points on the conveyor rollers while in the conveyor was in normal production mode. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], LOTO device application [(d)(4)], stored energy [(d)(5), and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to safeguard employees from the machine servicing hazards. b. On or about June 29, 2016, located in the Slitter Department, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated moving parts and in-going nip points from an unexpected release of stored energy while performing cleaning and die change activities. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work. 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. The Lauren Manufacturing was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard or its equivalent standard 1910.147(d)(2) which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1022119, citation number 1, item number 3 and was affirmed as a final order on May 16, 2016 with respect to a workplace located at 2228 Reiser Avenue S.E. New Philadelphia, Ohio 44663.
