At trial, Mr. Vavra denied that Respondent’s energy control procedures were simply turning the machines off. (Tr. 331-32). This testimony was contradicted at his deposition and at trial. At his October 23, 2019 Rule 30(b)(6) deposition, Mr. Vavra said that Respondent’s procedure for de-energizing its saws was “a simple task of just turning off. </span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-family:Times New Roman; font-family:Courier; font-family:Times New Roman; ">It’s</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-family:Times New Roman; font-family:Courier; font-family:Times New Roman; "><span><span></span>

(Tr. 333; Ex. 38, at 40). At trial, Jeffrey Prebish, Area Director (AD) of the Syracuse area office, testified that Respondent was not only required to turn its machines off, but also required to verify that the machine is isolated by bleeding any stored energy from the system to prevent it from restarting.

Mr. Vavra said it was possible, but highly unlikely, for someone to turn on the power to the planer while it was being serviced. (Tr. 386-95).
