Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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): At a workplace located at 805 Ogden Street in Marinette, Wisconsin: a) On or about July 17, 2021, an employee was exposed to struck-by hazards from the HMC ladle when the employee was servicing the Auto-Pour receiver #2. The employer did not ensure the employees implemented energy isolation steps while cleaning and maintaining the receiver on the Auto-Pour #2. The HMC ladle was not de-energized prior to an employee engaging in servicing and/or maintenance activities, exposing the employee to struck-by hazards from the HMC ladle. b) In the Mold Department on Auto-pour receivers #1 through #6, refractory employees were exposed to struck by hazards while servicing the horse-collars from the west side of the receiver. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy isolation steps while cleaning and maintaining the horse-collars. The HMC ladles were not de-energized prior to employees engaging in servicing and/or maintenance activities, exposing employees to struck-by hazards from the HMC ladle. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [1910.147(d)(3)], lockout/tagout device application [1910.147(d)(4)], dissipation of residual energy [1910.147(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
