Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.147(d): The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) did not cover the actions listed in and was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6): a) JBC Line - On or about August 17, 2016, an employee was exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts while unclogging dough from the No. 4 cyclone receiver. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down and locked out 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)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect the employee from machine servicing hazards. b) Bakery Line - On or about September 27, 2016, an employee was exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts while cleaning dough from the mixing blades on Dough Chunker #1. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down and locked out 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)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect the employee from machine servicing hazards.
