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): example;  On or about January 19, 2023, at a workplace located at 551 Krier Lane, Random Lake, Wisconsin on Line 2; employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in tool changes on the Angelus Seamer. 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 tasks including tool changes. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in the servicing / maintenance activity.  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 hazards.
