Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(1): The employer did not establish a program consisting of an energy control procedure, employee training and periodic inspections to ensure that before any employee performed any servicing or maintenance on a machine or equipment where the unexpected energizing, startup or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury, the machine or equipment shall be isolated from the energy source and rendered inoperative. The employer does not provide employees with a program entailing written energy control procedures, training, and periodic inspections for conducting lockout/tagout activities when performing services and/or maintenance and setup to equipment or machinery. This violation was observed on or about October 15, 2012, in the machine shop where employees were exposed to electrical, caught-between and struck-by hazards while performing services and/or maintenance and setup to equipment or machinery without energy control procedures. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is taking to ensure that an energy control program is established that consists of energy control procedures, employee training and periodic inspections to ensure that before any employee performs any servicing or maintenance on a machine or equipment where the unexpected energizing, start up or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury, the machine or equipment would be isolated, and rendered inoperative.
