Izindlela ezihlukile zokukhiya/ukuthega

I-OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 ichaza izinqubo "ezinye izindlela zokuvikela" ezingathuthukisa ukusebenza kahle ngaphandle kokubeka engcupheni ukuphepha kokusebenza. Lokhu okuhlukile kubizwa nangokuthi "okuhlukile kwensizakalo encane". Kwenzelwe imisebenzi yomshini edinga ukuvakashelwa okuphindaphindiwe nokuphindaphindwayo (isibonelo, ukususa ukuvinjelwa kwamabhande okuhambisa noma ukushintsha amathuluzi amancane). Izindlela ezihlukile azidingi ukunqanyulwa kukagesi okuphelele.

Izibonelo zobuchwepheshe bezindlela ezihlukile zifaka phakathi ukukhiya okulawulwa ngokhiye, ukushintsha kokulawula, ama-interlocking guards, kanye nemishini ekude kanye nokunqamula. Lokhu kungasho futhi ukukhiya ingxenye yedivayisi kuphela esikhundleni somshini wonke.

Izinga lakamuva le-ANSI elithi “ANSI/ASSE Z244.1 (2016) Control of Hazardous Energy-Locking, Tagging, and Alternative Methods” livumelane ne-OSHA ukuthi abasebenzi kufanele bavikelwe ekusebenzeni kwemishini ngengozi noma ekuphuzeni kwamandla ayingozi okungenzeka. Kodwa-ke, ikomidi le-ANSI alizange lizame ukuhambisana ngokugcwele nazo zonke izimfuneko zokulandela imithetho ze-OSHA zomlando. Esikhundleni salokho, izinga elisha linikeza isiqondiso eseluliwe ngale kwemingcele yokulawula ye-OSHA emisebenzini “ejwayelekile, ephindaphindayo, kanye nemisebenzi yokukhiqiza ebalulekile”.

I-ANSI ikwenza kucace ukuthi i-LOTO kufanele isetshenziswe ngaphandle kokuthi umsebenzisi angafakazela ukuthi indlela ehlukile ephelele izohlinzeka ngesivikelo esisebenzayo. Ezimweni lapho umsebenzi ungaqondakali kahle noma ungenakulinganiswa kahle, ukukhiya ngaphandle kufanele kube yindlela yokuzivikela ezenzakalelayo esetshenziswa ukulawula umshini noma inqubo.

Isigaba 8.2.1 se-ANSI/ASSE Z244.1 (2016) sibeka ukuthi kufanele isetshenziswe kuphela ngemva kokuba isihloliwe futhi yaqoshwa ukuthi ubuchwepheshe obusetshenziswayo buzobangela umonakalo omncane ngokusebenzisa izifundo ezisebenzayo (noma zokubonisa) enye indlela ehlukile. Kukhona ingozi yokuqala ngokuzumayo noma ukungabi khona kwengozi.

Ngokulandela imodeli yokulawula, i-ANSI/ASSE Z244.1 (2016) inikeza isiqondiso esiningiliziwe sokuthi, nini, futhi kanjani ukusebenzisa uchungechunge lwezindlela zokulawula ezihlukile ukunikeza isivikelo esilinganayo noma esingcono kubasebenzi abenza imisebenzi ethile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ichaza nezindlela zokunciphisa ubungozi ezihlukile zobuchwepheshe obusha, okuhlanganisa ukupakisha, imithi, ipulasitiki, izimboni zokunyathelisa nezinsimbi; izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-semiconductor kanye ne-robotics; kanye nabanye ababhekene nemingcele yamanje yokulawula.

Kuleli qophelo, kufanele kugcizelelwe ukuthi i-LOTO inikeza izinga eliphezulu lokuvikela, futhi lapho kungenzeka, kufanele isetshenziswe ukuvikela abasebenzi emithonjeni yamandla eyingozi. Ngamanye amazwi, ukuphazamiseka kukodwa akusona isizathu esamukelekayo sokusebenzisa ezinye izindlela.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-CFR 1910.147 isho ngokusobala ukuthi izindlela ezivunyelwe zokuvikela kumele zinikeze izinga elifanayo noma eliphakeme lokuvikela njenge-LOTO. Ngaphandle kwalokho, kubhekwa njengokungalandeli imithetho ngakho-ke akwanele ukufaka esikhundleni se-LOTO.

Ngokusebenzisa imishini ejwayelekile yezinga lokuphepha—njengeminyango evalekile kanye nezinkinobho zokuma eziphuthumayo—abaphathi befektri bangafinyelela ukufinyelela komshini okuphephile nokuthembekile, bethatha indawo yezinqubo ezijwayelekile ze-LOTO ngaphandle kokwephula izidingo ze-OSHA. Ukusebenzisa ezinye izinqubo ukuqinisekisa ukuvikelwa okulinganayo kwemisebenzi ethile kungandisa umkhiqizo ngaphandle kokufaka abasebenzi engozini. Kodwa-ke, lezi zinqubo kanye nezinzuzo zazo zingaphansi kwemibandela futhi zidinga ukuqonda okuphelele amazinga akamuva e-OSHA kanye ne-ANSI.

Inothi lomhleli: Lesi sihloko simelela imibono yombhali ezimele futhi akufanele sihunyushwe njengokuvunyelwa yiNational Security Council.

I-Safety + Health yamukela imibono ekhuthaza ingxoxo ehloniphekile. Sicela ugcine isihloko. Izibuyekezo eziqukethe ukuhlaselwa komuntu siqu, inhlamba, noma ulimi oluhlukumezayo - noma lezo ezikhuthaza ngenkuthalo imikhiqizo noma izinsizakalo - zizosuswa. Sigodla ilungelo lokunquma ukuthi yimaphi amazwana aphula inqubomgomo yethu yokuphawula. (Amazwana angaziwa amukelekile; vele weqe inkambu ethi “igama” ebhokisini lokuphawula. Ikheli le-imeyili liyadingeka kodwa ngeke lifakwe kumazwana akho.)

Thatha imibuzo mayelana nale magazini bese uthola amaphuzu okuqinisekiswa kabusha kwiKomiti Yezazi Zokuphepha Eziqinisekisiwe.

Umagazini i-“Safety + Health” oshicilelwe yi-National Safety Council unikeza ababhalisile abangu-86,000 izindaba zokuphepha emsebenzini ezweni lonke kanye nokuhlaziywa kwemikhuba yemboni.

Sindisa izimpilo, kusukela emsebenzini kuya noma kuphi. I-National Security Council ingummeleli wezokuphepha ohamba phambili ongenzi nzuzo e-United States. Sigxila ekuqedeni izimbangela eziyinhloko zokulimala nokufa okungavinjelwa.
