Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(6)(i):The employer shall conduct a periodic inspection of the energy control procedure at least annually to ensure that the procedure and the requirements of this standard are being followed. On or about June 27, 2022, the employer failed to ensure that periodic inspections of energy control procedures were conducted at least annually to identify and correct any deviations or inadequacies. Employees who engaged in servicing and maintenance activities on the CL-1000 machine were not familiar with the energy isolation steps needed to control hazardous energy sources, nor of any requirement to use them. If the periodic inspections had been performed as required, these knowledge deficiencies could have been identified and corrected. Abatement certification is required of this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
