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:
(a)American President Lines Ltd (Maintenance Shops): On or about January
28, 2009,
employees were exposed to electrical shock hazards created by:
(1) Electrical panels considered as being locked-out without the use of
actual lockout
devices and proper identification installed.
(2) The program was not reviewed annually to identify compliance and any
changes.
(3) Locks used to lockout equipment and electrical panels were not
identified specifically
as lockout devices.
One feasible means of abatement, among other methods, would be to utilize
locking devices

component, date of lockout
and the expected requirements for completing work as required by American
President Lines;
in addition, to perform an annual review of the program and retrain
employees as necessary for
any changes to procedures.
