OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. 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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 procedures for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6): a. On or about September 12, 2021, an employee was exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts and in-going nip points during service and maintenance of a belt and drive chain on the Feed 2 destacker on FSS #1. The employer did not implement energy control application steps as the machine was not shut down and turned off to perform the 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)] and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect the employee from machine servicing hazards.
