Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 014 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 Scanico Crust Spiral Freezer E11044 (Model SF135RR150/45-18,75-18, Serial 50937-2_2016), located on Line B, prior to cleaning, sanitizing, and inspecting. 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 in, around, and under the Crust Spiral Freezer. Employees are exposed to mechanical hazards. The violation occurred on or about December 11, 2022.
