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 procedure) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): a) Bay 8- On or about July 19, 2017, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts from the unexpected start-up and energization of the Tsune Circular Sawing Machine #20 and Tsune Circular Sawing Machine #21 when opening the guards that covered the saw blade and moving vice. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform saw blade changes [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 servicing hazards. b) Bay 8- On or about July 24, 2017, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts from the unexpected start-up and energization of the Amada Horizontal Bandsaws S9A, S10A, S22A, S23A, and S26A when opening the guards that covered the saw blade and drive wheels. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform saw blade changes [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 servicing hazards. In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence of abatement, or other written records.
