Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(i): Procedures were not developed, documented and utilized for the control of potentially hazardous energy when employees are engaged in the activities covered by this section: a) Andersen's Sales & Salvage, Inc. 1490 E. 8th Street, Greeley, CO 80631: On and before October 12, 2017, although the employer had implemented some procedures to control hazardous energy, the procedures did not fully protect employees from hazardous energy when employees were replacing the rotor, hammers, and pin protectors on the MegaShredder model 88x112 M-Series hammer mill. The locking pin that held the rotor in position was removed several times during this process to allow the rotor to rotate to a balanced position. When the locking pin was removed, and the rotor was rotating, the employer did not develop, document, and utilize adequate energy control procedures for the protection of the employees performing this task. An employee was injured when he was caught in-between the rotating rotor and a working platform. This condition resulted in exposure to rotating parts, ingoing nip points, and amputation hazards.
