Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B 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 14, 2020, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts during servicing and unjamming of the Wood Chipper (Bear Cat, SC3306). The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the employees did not know the method or means to control energy [per the 1910.147 (d)(1) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving shutdown of the machine [(d)(2)], 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 employees from machine servicing hazards.
