were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause
death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were ex-
posed to:
(a) Inadvertent activation of printing presses and other ma-
chinery, while setting up, performing maintenance and while ad-
justments were being made.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to cor-
rect this hazard is to establish and enforce an adequate plant
lockout procedure such as that stipulated by ANSI Z244.1-1982.

clude:
(1) Open and lockout the main power disconnect for the ma-
chine and bleed off any residual energy.
(2) Provide each potentially exposed employee working in the
area with a seperate lock and key to be placed on the
lockout means.
(3) Establish a written lockout policy, including procedures
to be followed and training for affected employees, both
