General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.147(d): The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) covered the following elements, however, the actions were not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147 (d)(1)-(6): a) Material Loading Area - On or about November 30, 2018, an employee was exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts while unjamming frozen sand on the Marco Material Loading Conveyor. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down or turned off to perform the servicing work such as unjamming the frozen sand material [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)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect the employee from machine servicing hazards.
