Abate by
Penalty
Initial $0.00 · Current $3500.00

General-duty citation text

29 CFR 1910.147(d)(6): Prior to starting work on machines or equipment that had been locked out or tagged out, the authorized employee did not verify that isolation and deenergization of the machine or equipment had been accomplished.    Before its employees commenced work on a piping system on or about September 3, 2015 at the REG Hydrodeoxygenator (HDO) Unit, the authorized employee of the contractor employer, Excel Contractors, took steps to verify that isolation and de-energization had occurred, which included the witnessing of verification steps performed by the facility owner.  But the verification steps taken were insufficient to verify that a solenoid operated valve (SOV) selected and utilized by the facility owner as an energy isolation point had completely isolated the piping system from hazardous energy (hydrogen gas.)"
