Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 012 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.147(d): The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6): a) Line B- The employer does not ensure that all the steps outlined in 29 CFR 1910.147(d), required for the control of the hazardous energy sources, are performed. Employees do not de-energize and lockout mechanical hazardous energy sources of the Diamond Brick Oven E10361 (Model 1710, Serial D-170-1-001), located on Line B, prior to conducting maintenance and inspection activities. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [1910.147(d)(3)], lock-out/tag-out device application [1910.147(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [1910.147(d)(5)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] are not implemented to protect employees from mechanical hazards while employees are conducting maintenance and inspection activities inside the Oven located on Line B. Employees are exposed to mechanical hazards. The violation occurred on or about December 14, 2022. b) Line B- The employer does not ensure that all the steps outlined in 29 CFR 1910.147(d), required for the control of the hazardous energy sources, are performed. Employees do not de-energize and lockout mechanical hazardous energy sources of the Diamond Brick Oven E10361 (Model 1710, Serial D-170-1-001), located on Line B, prior to conducting cleaning activities. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [1910.147(d)(3)], lock-out/tag-out device application [1910.147(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [1910.147(d)(5)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] are not implemented to protect employees from mechanical hazards while employees are conducting cleaning activities on the Oven located on Line B. Employees are exposed to mechanical hazards. The violation occurred on or about December 14, 2022.
