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:
(a) In that employees were exposed to the hazard of inadvertent
activation of injection molding presses while set-up, oiling and
adjustments are made. One feasible and acceptable abatement
method to correct this hazard is to establish and enforce an ad-
equate plant lockout procedure such as that stipulated by ANSI
Z244.1-1982, Section 4 and 5, American National Standard or Min-
imum Safety Requirements for Lockout/Tagout of Energy Sources
for Personal Protection.
Essential elements of the lockout procedure would include:
(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 separate lock and key to be placed on the
lockout means.
(3) Establish a written lockout policy, including procedures
to be followed and training for all affected employees.
(4) Periodically evaluate the program and strictly enforce
all of its provisions.
