Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): Application of control. The established procedures for the application of energy control (the lock-out or tag-out procedures) shall cover the following elements and actions and shall be done in the following sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6): a) On or about April 4, 2017, a maintenance employee suffered the amputation of the tip of their middle finger when it became caught between a belt and pulley while performing a monthly fuel oil test on the Large Boiler #2. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps in order to safely perform the servicing work [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], LO/TO 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 servicing hazards.
