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):    a. On or about February 5, 2019, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts, in-going nip points, and thermal hazards during servicing the Swiss Press and Blue Line Machines, located in the plant. The employer failed to implement energy control 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 of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
