29 CFR  1910.147(c)(1): The employer did not establish a program consisting of an energy control procedure, employee training and periodic inspections to ensure that before any employee performed any servicing or maintenance on a machine or equipment where the unexpected energizing, startup or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury, the machine or equipment shall be isolated from the energy source and rendered inoperative:  a) Lloyd Rebar Company located at 139 Technology Parkway, Shelby, Ohio, 44875: On or about February 12, 2024, the employer failed to ensure an energy control program consisting of control procedures, employee training and periodic inspections were developed and performed.

Mitre Saw without the benefit of energy isolation, hazardous energy recognition training and employer evaluation, exposed employees to amputation hazards created by the unexpected energization of the equipment.
