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 C, Portable Conveyors - The employer does not ensure employees are protected from nip-point and caught-in hazards when they are cleaning the conveyors and blowing down equipment on the Line C Portable Conveyors. This was identified on December 21, 2022, and most recently observed on or about February 4, 2023, when the employer did not implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform sanitation tasks [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.
