29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(i): Procedures shall be developed, documented and utilized for the control of potentially hazardous energy when employees are engaged in the activities covered by this section. On or about January 13, 2023, at an establishment located at 248 East Chicago Road, Wautoma, Wisconsin, in the receiving dock area, energy control procedures were not developed, documented, and utilized to prevent employee exposure to hazardous energy when performing servicing and maintenance work on Rite-Hite Vertical dock levelers. Note: Exception: The employer need not document the required procedure for a particular machine or equipment, when all of the following elements exist: (1) The machine or equipment has no potential for stored or residual energy or reaccumulation of stored energy after shut down which could endanger employees; (2) the machine or equipment has a single energy source which can be readily identified and isolated; (3) the isolation and locking out of that energy source will completely deenergize and deactivate the machine or equipment; (4) the machine or equipment is isolated from that energy source and locked out during servicing or maintenance; (5) a single lockout device will achieve a locker-out condition; (6) the lockout device is under the exclusive control of the authorized employee performing the servicing or maintenance; (7) the servicing or maintenance does not create hazards for other employees; and (8) the employer, in utilizing this exception, has had no accidents involving the unexpected activation or reenergization of the machine or equipment during servicing or maintenance.

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): On or about January 13, 2023, at an establishment located at 248 East Chicago Road, Wautoma, Wisconsin in the receiving dock area, employees were exposed to stuck by and crushed by hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in troubleshooting activities on the Rite-Hite Vertical Dock Leveler RHV-4100 S/N 4922040001. The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps or equivalent protective measures prior to allowing them to perform servicing and maintenance work. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in troubleshooting activities. 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(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [1910.147(d)(6)] were not implemented to protect employees from machine hazards.
