Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(5)(i): Locks, tags, chains, wedges, key blocks, adapter pins, self-locking fasteners, or other hardware shall be provided by the employer for isolating, securing or blocking of machines or equipment from energy sources: a. On or about June 5, 2020 and June 6, 2020, located in the Batch Plant's Mixer Room, the employer did not ensure that employees were provided with locks, and securing/blocking devices for the energy sources to the mixer. Despite the mixer having multiple hazardous energy sources, batch operators were provided with one non-functioning lock and there were no devices provided for isolating the mixer from the overhead concrete mixer ingredients, thereby exposing employees to caught-in, struck-by, and engulfment hazards.
