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): On or about January 16, 2019, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts and thermal hazards during change-over operations on the MAAC Thermoforming Machine, Model 85R4D (in house name, Machine 7). The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not turned off or placed into a safe mode to perform the change-over 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 hazards during the change over operations.
