29 CFR 1910.147(d): The established procedure for the application of energy control (the lockout or tagout procedures) was not done in sequence to achieve energy control by performing the following steps as required by 29 CFR 1910.147(d)(1)-(6):  1. Prepare for shut down by recognizing energy hazards and its controls, 2. Turn off and shut down power to the machinery, 3. Physically locate and operate energy-isolating devices in such a manner as to isolate the machine or equipment from the energy source(s), 4. Affix lockout/tagout devices to each energy isolating device, 5. Render safe all potentially hazardous stored or residual energy, and 6. Verify isolation and de-energization of machinery have been accomplished prior to starting the maintenance and/or servicing work:  a) Roof of 1836 N. Lockwood Avenue, Chicago, IL  - On or about December 20, 2024, employees were exposed to machine hazards associated with moving parts while performing maintenance and servicing tasks on the blower of the general exhaust system of the building. The employer did not implement energy control application steps, as a lockout device was not applied on the machine to perform servicing work  [per the 1910.147(d)(4) requirements]. As a result, the remaining applicable energy control elements, involving machine isolation [(d)(3)], dissipation of residual energy [(d)(5)(i)], and verification of isolation [(d)(6)], were not implemented to protect employees from machine servicing hazards.  In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(c), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET).
