General-duty citation text

29 CFR 1910.147(c)(1): The employer did not establish a program consisting of an energy control procedure, employee training and periodic inspections to ensure that before any employee performed 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:     The employer is failing to protect employees from electrical, caught between and amputation hazards associated with maintain equipment that requires the application of a lock or tag to isolate the hazardous stored energy.  The most recent occurrence of this was evident during the inspection of the facility located at 1967 Dove Hills Ave, Kearney, NE 68845, where the employer has employees maintaining equipment without having developed a written lockout and/or tag out program as means of identifying hazards and mitigating risks.

Employees servicing the air compressor.  iii.    Employees performing maintenance without written specific procedures.
