Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001E Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): The established procedures for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedure) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): On or about February 13, 2018, employees were exposed to the unexpected energization of the Mitsui Seiki VS5Q Vertical Spindle Machining Center, Model Number VS5Q, Serial Number 308, while conducting servicing and maintenance activities such as changing the bits/tooling. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to 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)], LOTO 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.
