The following accidents, taken from a NIOSH report entitled, Guidelines for Controlling Hazardous Energy During Maintenance and Servicing, are typical of the hazards of common industrial equipment and machines and demonstrate the protective function of the Standard 29 CFR Part 1910.147 Incident 1. An employee was removing paper from a waste hogger. The hogger had been shut down, but the conveyor feeding the hogger had not been. The employee climbed onto the machine, fell onto the conveyor, was pulled into the hogger opening and was crushed. There was no energy control procedure at this operation. 2. An employee was partially inside an asphalt-mixing machine, changing its paddles. Another employee, while dusting in the control room, accidentally hit a toggle switch that caused the door of the mixer to close, striking the first employee on the head and killing him. Electrical switches to activate the machine were not de-energized and air pressure to move the doors was not shut off.

Incident Lockout/Tagout Standard Provision That Protects From The Hazard 3. An employee was setting up a vacuumforming machine for a run of violin cases. He leaned over the press and accidentally activated the starting switch. His head was crushed between an air cylinder and the frame hogger opening. There was no energy control procedure at this operation. Document & implement an energy effective control procedures - Part) 1910.147(c) (4) 4. An employee was cleaning scrap from beneath a large shear when a fellow employee hit the control button, activating the blade.
