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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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): On or about August 14, 2025, at an establishment located at 478 Industrial Park Road, Berlin, Wisconsin, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts when they engaged in cleaning activities on the "B" Bank Transfer Pump (Viking Pump, Model No.: CPP R0300X, Serial No.: 1015052/E/23). The employer did not ensure that employees implemented energy control application steps or equivalent protective measures prior to allowing them to prime the pump. The machine was not deenergized prior to the employee engaging in the servicing/maintenance activity exposing employees to rotating equipment energy. 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.
