29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(ii): Procedures did not clearly and specifically outline the scope, purpose, authorization, rules, and techniques to be utilized for the control of hazardous energy, and the means to enforce compliance including, but not limited to, 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(ii)(A), (c)(4)(ii)(B), (c)(4)(ii)(C) and (c)(4)(ii)(D): a) 25876 Dupont Road, Seaford, DE 19973: On or about January 12, 2021, the employer failed to ensure that the developed energy control procedures, identified specific steps to be followed to control hazardous energy for equipment (Hopper/Box) on which employees perform cleaning on and around the equipment. NOTE: The procedures must be documented in sufficient detail and provide enough direction so that employees can effectively follow the procedure and determine how to safely perform the servicing and maintenance activities. Over generalization can result in a document which has little or no utility to the employee who must follow procedure. However, while the procedure is required to be written in detail, this does not mean that a separate procedure must be written for each and every machine or piece of equipment. Similar machines and/or equipment (those using the same type and magnitude energy) that has the same or similar types of controls can be covered with a single procedure.
