Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The %% employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to: a) The company lockout program was not adequate in that on or about August 14, 1989 and at times prior therto, employees clearing debris such as slabs from the tailsawyer, were not required to lockout the system. Employees were exposed to the hazard of becoming entangled when the tailsayer automatically opened and/or closed. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to develop and implement a lockout program such as that stipulated by ANSI Z244. 1-1982, Section 4 and 5, Lockout/Tagout Of Energy Sources for Personal Protection. Essential elements of the lockout program would include: 1) Establishing written safety and rules and lockout procedures relating to working around moving equipment. 2) Provide safety and lockout training for all employees, including both maintenance and operational crews. 3) Provide each affected employee with locks keyed separately to ensure removal by only that employee. 4) Strictly enforce all provisions of the lockout program. 5) Periodically evaluate the program for effectiveness.
