OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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 April 6, 2017, employees located in the sauerkraut canning room were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in cleaning activities on an EME ENGLER Corp. glass canning line. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to clean the inside of the canning machine with the guards removed. An employee suffered an amputation when their finger was caught in-between the turret knife and broach plate. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in the servicing/maintenance activity. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [1910.147(d)(3)], lockout/tagout device application [1910.147(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [1910.147(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards. The GLK Foods, LLC was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard or its equivalent standards 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(3) and 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(4)(I), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 669638, citation number 1, item number 4 and was affirmed as a final order on March 8, 2013, with respect to a workplace located at 400 Clark St. Bear Creek, WI 54922.
