On or about July 30, 2015 and at times prior, the employer exposed his employees to potential hazardous energies in that employees were allowed to perform service and/or maintenance on the stab machine at the UMA line without being provided with a lockout/tagout machine specific procedure to prevent the accidental start-up of the machine or the release of hazardous energy. b) Piercing machine- UMA line; On or about July 30, 2015 and at times prior, the employer exposed his employees to potential hazardous energies in that employees were allowed to perform service and/or maintenance on the piercing machine at the UMA line without being provided with a lockout/tagout machine specific procedure to prevent the accidental start-up of the machine or the release of hazardous energy. c) Sizing machine- ANA line; On or about July 30, 2015 and at times prior, the employer exposed his employees to potential hazardous energies in that employees were allowed to perform service and/or maintenance on the sizing machine at the ANA line without being provided with a lockout/tagout machine specific procedure to prevent the accidental start-up of the machine or the release of hazardous energy. d) Knuckle bracket machine- Lambda line; On or about August 23, 2015 and at times prior, the employer exposed his employees to potential hazardous energies in that employees were allowed to perform service and/or maintenance on the knuckle bracket machine at the Lambda line without being provided with a lockout/tagout machine specific procedure to prevent the accidental start-up of the machine or the release of hazardous energy. e) Stab bracket machine- ANA line; On or about September 7, 2015 and at times prior, the employer exposed his employees to potential hazardous energies in that employees were allowed to perform service and/or maintenance on the stab bracket machine at the ANA line without being provided with a lockout/tagout machine specific procedure to prevent the accidental start-up of the machine or the release of hazardous energy. f) Base cap welder machine- Lambda line; On or about September 14, 2015 and at times prior, the employer exposed his employees to potential hazardous energies in that employees were allowed to perform service and/or maintenance on the base cap welder machine at the lambda line without being provided with a lockout/tagout machine specific procedure to prevent the accidental start-up of the machine or the release of hazardous energy. g) Spring seat welder machine- ANA line; On or about September 14, 2015 and at times prior, the employer exposed his employees to potential hazardous energies in that employees were allowed to perform service and/or maintenance on the spring seat welder machine at the ANA line without being provided with a lockout/tagout machine specific procedure to prevent the accidental start-up of the machine or the release of hazardous energy. h) Stab bracket machine- Lambda line; On or about September 21, 2015 and at times prior, the employer exposed his employees to potential hazardous energies in that employees were allowed to perform service and/or maintenance on the stab bracket machine at the lambda line without being provided with a lockout/tagout machine specific procedure to prevent the accidental start-up of the machine or the release of hazardous energy. i) Piercing machine- Lambda line; On or about September 22, 2015 and at times prior, the employer exposed his employees to potential hazardous energies in that employees were allowed to perform service and/or maintenance on the piercing machine at the lambda line without being provided with a lockout/tagout machine specific procedure to prevent the accidental start-up of the machine or the release of hazardous energy. j) Spring seat welder machine- Lambda line; On or about September 22, 2015 and at times prior, the employer exposed his employees to potential hazardous energies in that employees were allowed to perform service and/or maintenance on the spring seat welder machine at the lambda line without being provided with a lockout/tagout machine specific procedure to prevent the accidental start-up of the machine or the release of hazardous energy. k) Lot marker machine- LFA line; On or about September 23, 2015 and at times prior, the employer exposed his employees to potential hazardous energies in that employees were allowed to perform service and/or maintenance on the Lot marker machine at the LFA line without being provided with a lockout/tagout machine specific procedure to prevent the accidental start-up of the machine or the release of hazardous energy. l) Knuckle bracket machine- ANA line;
