General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The
employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were
free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to:
The hazards of crushing, amputation, electrical shock and death while
working on presses, slitters, formers, and other machines which were
not positively locked out and could be inadvertently activated.
Among other method, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to establish and enforce an adequate plant
lockout procedure such as that stipulated by ANSI Z244.1-1982, Section
4 and 5, American National Standard of Minimum Safety Requirements for
Lockout/Tagout of Energy Sources for Personnel Protection.Essential
elements of the lockout procedure would include:
1) Open and lock out the main power disconnect for the machine and
bleed off any residual energy;
2) Provide each potentially exposed employee working in the area with
separate lock and key to be placed on the lockout means.
3) Establish a written lock out policy, including procedures to be
followed and training for all affected employees, both maintenance
and operational crews.
4) Periodically evaluate the program and strictly enforce all of its
provisions.
