Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.147(d):The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) did not cover the actions listed in and was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6): At a workplace located at 805 Ogden Street in Marinette, Wisconsin: (a) On or about May 4, 2021, an employee in the Mill Department was exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they were engaged in cleaning activities on broaching machine #15. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior cleaning the broaching machines. The two operating controls were inadvertently depressed and caused the machine to actuate, resulting in an amputation. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in a servicing and/or maintenance activity. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [1910.147(d)(3)], lockout/tagout device application [1910.147(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [1910.147(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
