Smuckers Company at 2900 Peak Avenue, Longmont, CO 80504: On and before February 7, 2020 machine specific, step-by-step procedures were not developed, documented and utilized for the control of potentially hazardous energy when employees removed dough build-up on rollers throughout the conveyor dough rolling equipment. An employee used an equipment manufacturers maintenance access key to open and remove a protective panel on a section of the conveyor equipment. The employee sustained serious hand and arm injuries when her hand and arm were pulled into the machine between two rollers when the machine unexpectedly energized. This condition exposed employees to crushing and amputation hazards caused by unexpected energizing of the equipment. (b) The J.M. Smuckers Company at 2900 Peak Avenue, Longmont, CO 80504: On and before February 7, 2020 machine specific, step-by-step procedures were not developed, documented and utilized for the control of potentially hazardous energy when employees removed dough build-up on rollers throughout the conveyor dough rolling equipment. Employees only press the E-stop on conveyor equipment before they place their hands in the danger zone of equipment that is not properly de-energized. In addition, employees use an equipment manufacturers maintenance access key to open and remove protective panels on sections of conveyor equipment to remove dough build up on rollers. This condition exposed employees to crushing and amputation hazards caused by unexpected energizing of the equipment.
