Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): Application of control. The established procedures for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) shall cover the following elements and actions and shall be done in the following sequence: a. On or about June 26, 2018, located southwest corner of the foundry, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts of a hydraulic mold pusher during the setup activity of a headboard change on the Hunter Mold Machine. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the interconnected mold transfer line was not shut down or turned off to perform the 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 hazards. Sancast, Inc. a Subsidiary of Wabtec was previously cited for a violation of this Occupational Safety and Health standard which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1163018, citation number 1, item number 2a and was affirmed as a final order on February 10, 2017, with respect to a workplace located at 535 Clow Lane Coshocton, Ohio 43812.
