Online Training Certification Course
29 CFR Part 1915 Subpart J
From the highest rated and most trusted online training company since 2008.
Case Study: A worker was attempting to crawl feet-first out of a bin through a hydraulic gate when his body came into contact with the electronic eye of the machine. This activated the hydraulic gate, which lowered onto the worker's neck, killing him instantly.
According to the employer, the gate's hydraulic valve was in an open position at the time the incident occurred, despite being shut off earlier that day. After further investigation, it was discovered that the employer had no lockout tags-plus procedures in place.
Key Takeaway: OSHA regulations require proper safety procedures to prevent energization, startup, or release of hazardous energy. Even though the gate's hydraulic valve was shut off earlier that day, it was not properly locked out or tagged to prevent the machine from starting up unexpectedly. An effective lockout tags-plus program, with proper training, could have prevented this tragic accident.

Retraining is required when: (1) supervision and inspections indicate that the employee is not followingsafety-related work practices; (2) new technology, new types of equipment, or changes in proceduresnecessitate the use of safety-related work practices that are different from those the employee wouldnormally use; or (3) the employee must use safety procedures that are not normally used in his or herregular job duties. OSHA considers tasks that an employee performs less often than once a year as triggering the requirementfor retraining.
