General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.261(b)(1): The employer did not ensure that before any maintenance, inspection, cleaning, adjusting, or servicing of equipment (electrical, mechanical, or other) that required entrance into or close contact with the machinery or equipment, the main power disconnect switch or valve, or both, controlling its source of power or flow of material, shall be locked out or blocked off with padlock, blank flange, or similar device(s).

The residual hot water material stored in piping between closed valve(s) and waste valve was not controlled and released onto employee performing clean out.
