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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 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). a. On or about January 30, 2024, in the Hybrid Department, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with pressurized hydraulic fluid while conducting service and/or maintenance of HYDAC Bladder Accumulators on the Husky Hylectric Injection Molding Machine #2, resulting in employee receiving a fractured nasal cavity. The employer failed to implement energy control application steps after the machine was shut down or turned off to perform the servicing 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)], dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)((i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.
