General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.147(d): The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) did not cover the actions listed in and was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6): On or about August 08,2016, employees tasked with rethreading the Zinger section of machine #26 were exposed to machine hazards associated with the moving/rotating mounting block. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was only shut down/turned off to perform the servicing work but not affectively locked out [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirement]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [(d)(3), LOTO device application [(d)(4), dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(I)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6), were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards. Prepare for shutdown [(d)(1)] - ensure authorized employee has knowledge of the type, magnitude, the hazards, and the method or means to control the energy; Shutdown the machine or equipment [(d)(2)]; Machine isolation [(d)(3)] - Physically locate and operate all energy isolation devices that are needed to control the energy to the machine or equipment in such a manner as to isolate the machine or equipment from the energy source(s); LOTO device application [(d)(4)] - Affix a lockout or tagout device to each energy isolating device; Dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(i)] - relieve, disconnect, restrain, and otherwise render safe all potentially hazardous stored or residual energy; Verification of isolation [(d)(6)] - Verify that isolation and deenergization of the machine or equipment has been accomplished
