Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(ii): The procedures shall clearly and specifically outline the scope, purpose, authorization, rules, and techniques to be utilized for the control of hazardous energy, and the means to enforce compliance including, but not limited to, the following: On or about 24 July 2017, documented procedures in the employer's lockout/tagout program did not adequately outline the scope, purpose, authorization, rules, and techniques to be utilized for the prevention of unexpected energizing, start-up or release of stored energy on all company machines, to include the Williams White S2-500-60-48, Machine #125. Employees were exposed to unexpected start-up when they were observed performing maintenance on Machine #125 without properly securing all potential sources of stored energy (kinetic/pneumatic). The employees did not install the ram block, secure the pneumatic air supply, or wait until the flywheel came to a complete stop prior to placing their hands inside of the die area and performing maintenance. All employees who gain access to equipment, including shears, power presses, plasma cutter, upsetters, saws, mills, furnaces, and bull dozers who perform servicing and maintenance were exposed to caught-in hazards. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
