Case Study 1: Printing Press Roll Cleaning
Incorrect. Actually, the activity is covered by the Lockout/Tagout standard.
Even though this roll cleaning activity takes place during normal production
operations, the employee is required to bypass a machine guard and/or place part of
his/her body into a point of operation or associated danger zone. The cleaning operation
is therefore covered as service and maintenance which took place during normal production
operations. Therefore, the requirements of 1910.147 apply.
For more information: Refer to Lockout/Tagout standard parts 1910.147(a)(2)(ii),
(a)(2)(ii)(A),
and (a)(2)(ii)(B).
