Akunakuphikwa ukuthi ukuvimbela ukulimala nokulahlekelwa yimpilo yisona sizathu esiyinhloko sokuqinisa noma yiluphi uhlelo lokuphepha.
Izitho zomzimba ezichotshoziwe, ukwaphuka noma ukunqunywa, ukushaqeka kukagesi, ukuqhuma, kanye nokushiswa ukushisa/amakhemikhali - lezi ezinye zezingozi abasebenzi ababhekana nazo lapho amandla agciniwe ekhishwa ngengozi noma ngengozi. Cishe yonke imikhakha yezimboni inokugcinwa kwamandla, uma kulawulwa ngendlela engafanele, kungaholela kalula ekulimaleni okukhulu noma ekulahlekelweni yimpilo. Ukulawula amandla agciniwe, njengogesi, amandla e-kinetic, amandla okushisa, uketshezi olucindezelwe kanye namagesi, kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha kwabasebenzi. Indlela engcono kakhulu yokusiza ithimba lakho lisebenzise amandla agciniwe ngokuphepha ukuqinisekisa ukuthi une-energy enamandlaUhlelo lokuqeqesha lwe-lockout/tagout (LOTO)ukulawula amandla ayingozi.
Akunakuphikwa ukuthi ukuvimbela ukulimala nokulahlekelwa yimpilo yisona sizathu esiyinhloko sokuqinisa noma yiluphi uhlelo lokuphepha. Kodwa-ke, kukhona nezinzuzo ezithile zebhizinisi. Isibonelo, ngokusho kombiko we-National Safety Commission (NSC) Online Injury Facts Report, ngo-2019 kuphela, ukulimala okuhlobene nomsebenzi kwabangela ukulahlekelwa yi-US$171 billion kanye ne-US$105 million ezinsukwini ezilahlekile.
Kuthuthukiswe ngokukhethekileUkuqeqeshwa kwe-LOTOkuzosiza ekunciphiseni amathuba okuhlawuliswa yi-OSHA ngokwephula umthetho okukhulu (okungukuthi ukulimala noma ukufa). Intengo yokuqala yokwephulwa ngakunye yi-US$13,653. Ukwephulwa kwe-LOTO kuvame ukuba uhlu lwaminyaka yonke lwezephulamthetho ezivame kakhulu ze-OSHA, olubekwe endaweni yesithupha ngonyaka wezimali ka-2020. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuqinisa i-OSHA yakho.Uhlelo lwe-LOTOkuzofaka phakathi ukwenziwa kwenqubo ibe yinye. Ukwenziwa kwenqubo ibe yinye kungathuthukisa ukusebenza kahle. Isikhathi/izinsiza ozisebenzisayo ekubhaleni nasekuhleleniUkuqeqeshwa kwe-LOTOUhlelo luzokonga isikhathi/izinsiza kanye nezinqubo ezisebenzayo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Abasebenzi abagunyaziwe kanye nabasebenzi abathintekayo badinga amazinga ahlukeneUkuqeqeshwa kwe-LOTOkanye nokuqeqeshwa kabusha. Isinyathelo sokuqala sokuqinisa uhlelo lwakho ukuthola abasebenzi abagunyaziwe nabathintekayo ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi ilungu ngalinye leqembu lithola ukuqeqeshwa okufanele.
