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 November 29, 2019, an employee was exposed to machine hazards associated with in-going nip points, and moving parts while attempting to remove a piece of tire from an ingoing nip point of a conveyor system. The employer failed to implement energy control applications steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work [per the 1910.147(d)(2) requirements]. 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 isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine serving hazards.
