29 CFR 1910.147(c)(1):   The employer did not establish a program consisting of an energy control procedure and employee training to ensure that before any employee performed any servicing or maintenance on a machine or equipment where the unexpected energizing, start up or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury, the machine or equipment would be isolated, and rendered inoperative in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4):  (a)Canyon Bakehouse, LLC at 1510 East 11th St., Loveland, CO 80537: The employer did not establish a program consisting of an energy control procedure and employee training to ensure that before any employee performed any servicing or maintenance on a machine or equipment where the unexpected energizing, start up or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury, including but not limited to the ovens, depositors and the quick lock .  This condition exposed the employee to an amputation hazard.  Abatement Note:  As part of an energy-control program, employers must:   (1)Establish energy-control procedures for removing the energy supply from machines and for putting appropriate lockout or tagout devices on the energy-isolating devices to prevent unexpected reenergization.  When appropriate, the procedure also must address stored or potentially reaccumulated energy.   (2)Train employees on the energy-control program, including the safe application, use, and removal of energy controls; and  (3)Inspect these procedures periodically (at least annually) to ensure that they are being followed and that they remain effective in preventing employee exposure to hazardous energy.  The energy-control procedures must outline the scope, purpose, authorization, rules, and techniques that employees will use to control hazardous energy sources, as well as the means that will be used to enforce compliance.  These procedures must provide employees at least the following information:   (1)A statement on how to use the procedures;   (2)Specific procedural steps to shut down, isolate, block, and secure machines;  (3)Specific steps designating the safe placement, removal, and transfer of lockout/tagout devices and identifying who has responsibility for the lockout/tagout devices; and  (4)Specific requirements for testing machines to determine and verify the effectiveness of lockout devices, tagout devices, and other energy-control measures.
