General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(1): Energy control program. The employer shall establish a program consisting of energy control procedures, employee training and periodic inspections to ensure that before any employee performs any servicing or maintenance on a machine or equipment where the unexpected energizing, startup or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury, the machine or equipment shall be isolated from the energy source and rendered inoperative. Production area - On or about May 11, 2016, employees were required to change saw blades and perform maintenance on the pallet dismantler saw. The employer did not establish a written energy control program (lockout/tagout) consisting of training, specific procedures and periodic inspections. Employees were thereby exposed to the hazards due to the unexpected energization of equipment.
