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 lacerations, fractures, and amputations resulting from the following: a.)M/V Blue Wave, Processing Deck - Where the employer had developed equipment-specific lockout/tagout procedures for the control of energy associated with performing blade changes and maintenance activities on header machines, the written procedures did not address controlling and isolating this energy source when adjusting the conveyor system in the vicinity of the energized blade. On or about 7/7/00, an engineer was observed adjusting the conveyor at the point of operation of the energized blade without using alternative protective measures or a specific lockout/tagout procedure. NOTE: Among other methods, one feasible and effective abatement method would be to develop and implement a specific procedure for controlling energy to the header blade when adjusting the conveyor at this location. b.)M/V Blue Wave - The employer had not conducted a periodic inspection of the energy control procedures at least annually to ensure that the procedure accurately reflected the methods being used and that these procedures were being followed. NOTE: Among other methods, one feasible and effective abatement method would be to review the lockout/tagout procedures annually and verify periodically that they are being used.
