What this inspection record means

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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Penalty
Initial $15,625 · Current $9,375 Reduced
29 CFR  1910.147(d): Application of control. The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedure) was not done in sequence as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1) through (d)(6).  On or about February 6, 2023, the employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps prior to allowing them to paint motor covers at the Trim CP4 Laminator Outfeed Roll Case line. The motors were not shut down or turned off prior to employees engaging in this servicing and maintenance activity, exposing them to pinch/nip point hazards and amputation injuries.   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.  Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
