Everyone has heard to make sure there is no available power when working on anything electrical, however most people tend not to fully check before beginning work. This simple mistake causes thousands of death each year. Workers can be seriously injured or even killed because they simply do not follow safety procedures.
Dr. Isabel Perry has written a great little article of LOTO programs that would be a great ‘Toolbox’ for any Safety Manager or just as a reminder for your employees. Dr. Perry is a renowned safety instructor and speaking, she has her own business The Safety Doctor (www.thesafetydoctor.com) and travels the country doing safety training and seminars.
The article covers such items as securing equipment, performing lockout/tagout, restarting the equipment, and sources of energy. To find the entire article please go to the following link http://www.thesafetydoctor.com/article11.htm.
Remember avoiding serious injuries in the workplace can be as simple as taking the time to be aware of your surroundings!!
