Text For Citation: 03 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(ii): The procedures shall clearly and specifically outline the scope, purpose, authorization, rules, and techniques to be utilized for the control of hazardous energy, and the means to enforce compliance including, but not limited to, the following: (B) Specific procedural steps for shutting down, isolating, blocking and securing machines or equipment to control hazardous energy; (C) Specific procedural steps for the placement, removal and transfer of lockout devices or tagout devices and the responsibility for them; and, (D) Specific requirements for testing a machine or equipment to determine and verify the effectiveness of lockout devices, tagout devices, and other energy control measures. The employer does not ensure that its machine-specific lockout/tagout procedures clearly and specifically address the proper shut down, isolation, blocking and securing of the meat processing equipment, including those listed below: - Robert Reiser Vacuum Blender 48-206 (model # PMB 3000, serial #1019) in room 48; - Marlin Pump 48-212F in room 48; - Townsend Incline Auger 48-211 (model # 77732) in room 48; - FPEC Vacuum Blender 47-200 (model #814, serial # 1573) in room 47; - FPEC Blender 24-052 (model # Megassager, serial # 661) in room 24; - Alfa-Laval Bowl Chopper 24-046 (model # VSM500, serial #213-189-1) in room 24, - CSC Incline Auger 20-009 (model # CSC 1614.3.F, serial #81223) in room 20; and, - WolfKing Grinder 23-037 (model # SIG 650/200, serial #58937) in room 23. Employees are exposed to caught-in and struck-by hazards associated with the unexpected machine start-up or release of energy sources, such as, but not limited to, electrical, pneumatic, gravitational, and hydraulic, when energy control procedures do not clearly and specifically address the requirements of (B) through (D) prior to cleaning, sanitation, and inspections. This was most recently observed on or about 2/1/2023.
