Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d):Application of control. The established procedures for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): a. On or before December 1, 2021, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts during servicing and maintenance of the #2 Extruder Machine. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the energy was not isolated from the machine to perform the servicing work [per the 1910.147(d)(3) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control 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 servicing hazards.
