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 March 27, 2018 an employee was exposed to amputation hazards associated with rotating blades while clearing the trim from the paper slitter. The employer failed to ensure that energy control procedures were followed as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform the operation. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], LOTO application [(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(I)], and verification of isolation[(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect the employee from machine servicing hazards.
