General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The
employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were
free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to
electrical shock hazards from electrical equipment and/or being struck
by or caught between moving parts of machines and equipment, due to
their inadvertent activation, while performing maintenance, repair,
adjustments, clearing, inspection, etc., that require entry into or
close proximity to machines and equipment, such as but not limited to,
extruders, twisters, ropers and polypropylene holding bin.
One feasible and acceptable method, among others, to correct the hazard
is to establish and enforce an adequate plant lockout procedure which
would include the following essentials:
1) Open and lockout the main power disconnect for the machine and bleed
off any residual energy;
2) Provide each potentially exposed employee working in the area with
separate lock and key to be placed on the lockout means;
3) Establish a written policy, including procedures to be followed and
train all affected employees;
4) Periodically evaluate the program and strictly enforce all of its
provisions.
