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) through (d)(6):              a. On or about July 18, 2018, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts, in-going nip points, and hazards during servicing the overhead conveyor system located in the north building. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as LOTO devices were not applied to the electrical disconnect [ per the 1910.147 (d)(4) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(I)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
