The employer must establish a written energy control program consisting of:
(1) An energy control procedure;
(2) Employee training; and
(3) Periodic inspections.
The purpose of the program is to ensure that before any employee services or maintains a machine or equipment where the unexpected energizing, start up, or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury, the machine or equipment is isolated from the energy source, and rendered inoperative.
