Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): Application of control. The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedure) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6). On or about June, 27, 2022, the employer did not ensure that employees implemented hazardous energy control application steps prior to allowing them to repair the webbing in the rewind room on the CL-1000 machine. The machine was not shut down or turned off prior to the employees engaging in this servicing and maintenance activity, exposing them to crushing and amputation hazards from the unexpected movement of the machine. 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. Abatement certification is required of this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
