Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(2)(ii): The employer's energy control program under paragraph (c)(1) of this section did not utilize lockout, where the energy isolating device was capable of being locked out: (a) DCP Services LLC, at Highway 392 and Weld County Road 71, N 0.9, W 0.2, Briggsdale, CO: On 11/16/17, the employer's energy control program under paragraph (c)(1) of this section did not utilize lockout, where the energy isolating device was capable of being locked out. Employees of DCP Services LLC and Complete Energy Services Inc were involved in the removal of a hydrate blockage within a DCP Services LLC pipeline. The DCP Services LLC pipeline transported approximately 350 psi natural gas and other products of crude oil and gas extraction. The high pressure natural gas was both a pneumatic energy source and a thermal energy source. An employee of DCP Services LLC closed one downstream block valve and one upstream block valve at the approximate ends of the one mile length section of piping. The employee did not place a lock or tag on either block valve. The valves were capable of being locked out when closed. This condition exposed an employee of DCP Services LLC and employees of Complete Energy Services Inc to uncontrolled energy hazards.
