Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.147(d): Application of control. The established procedures for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) shall cover the following elements and actions and shall be done in the following sequence: a. On or about February 9, 2021, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with in-going nip points during servicing and maintenance of the chain and sprocket on the North Conveyor, located in the Soap Pad Department. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as LOTO devices were not applied to the electrical disconnect [per the 1910.147(d)(4) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
