Thuthukisa uhlelo lokulawula amandla

abakhiqizi kumele bathuthukise izinhlelo zokulawula amandla kanye nezinqubo ezithile zomshini ngamunye. Bancoma ukuthi kufakwe inqubo yokukhiya/yokukhiya isinyathelo ngesinyathelo emshinini ukuze ibonakale kubasebenzi nakubahloli be-OSHA. Ummeli uthe i-Occupational Safety and Health Administration izobuza ngezinqubomgomo zamandla eziyingozi, noma ngabe benza olunye uhlobo lwesikhalazo khona manjalo.

UWachov uthe inkampani iqeqesha abasebenzi befektri kanye nabasebenzi bokulungisa; kufanele basebenzise amagama asetshenziswa yi-OSHA okulawula amandla ayingozi okungenani ingxenye yesikhathi ukuze bazi amagama afanele lapho abahloli bebuza abasebenzi.

USmith wanezela ngokuthi umuntu ofaka ithegi yokukhiya emshinini kumele kube ngumuntu oyisusayo ngemva kokuba umsebenzi usuqediwe.

“Umbuzo esinawo ukuthi singaphikisana yini ngokuthi into ethile ikhiqizwa ngendlela evamile, akudingeki ngiyikhiye/ngiyibeke ohlwini, ngoba ukunqamula wonke amandla kungaba inqubo eyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu,” kusho yena. Izinguquko ezincane zamathuluzi kanye nokulungiswa kanye neminye imisebenzi yokulungisa emincane kulungile. “Uma lokhu kuyinto evamile, kuyaphindaphindwa futhi kuyingxenye ebalulekile yokusetshenziswa komshini, ungasebenzisa ezinye izindlela zokuvikela isisebenzi,” kusho uSmith Say.

USmith uphakamise indlela yokucabanga ngakho: “Uma ufuna ukwenza okuhlukile enkambisweni yokukhiya/yokuthena, ingabe ngifaka abasebenzi endaweni eyingozi? Ingabe kufanele bazifake emshinini? Ingabe kufanele sidlule onogada? Lokho ngempela Ingabe 'ukukhiqiza okuvamile'?”

I-Occupational Safety and Health Administration icubungula ukuthi izobuyekeza yini amazinga ayo okukhiya/ukukhiya ukuze ithuthukise umshini ngaphandle kokuthinta ukuphepha kwabasebenzi ngesikhathi sokulungiswa komshini. I-OSHA yaqala ukusebenzisa leli zinga ngo-1989. I-Lockout/ukukhiya, i-OSHA iphinde iyibize ngokuthi “Ukulawulwa Kwamandla Okuyingozi”, futhi okwamanje idinga ukusetshenziswa kwamadivayisi okuhlukaniswa kwamandla (i-EID) ukulawula amandla. Imishini elawulwa yisekethe ikhishwe ngokusobala kule nqubo. “Noma kunjalo, i-OSHA iyaqaphela ukuthi selokhu i-OSHA yamukela indinganiso ngo-1989, ukuphepha kwemishini yohlobo lwesekethe yokulawula kuthuthukile,” kusho le nhlangano encazelweni yayo. “Ngenxa yalokho, i-OSHA ibuyekeza amazinga okukhiya/okufaka ohlwini ukuze icabangele ukuthi ingavumela yini ukusetshenziswa kwemishini yohlobo lwesekethe yokulawula esikhundleni se-EID emisebenzini ethile noma ngaphansi kwezimo ezithile.” I-OSHA ithe: “Eminyakeni edlule, abanye abaqashi bathi bakholelwa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kuvunyelwe. Izingxenye, izinhlelo ezingafuneki, namadivayisi ohlobo lwesekethe yokulawula alawula isekethe ethembekile aphephile njenge-EID.” Le nhlangano ithe inganciphisa isikhathi sokungasebenzi. I-OSHA eseWashington iyingxenye yoMnyango Wezabasebenzi wase-US futhi ifuna imibono, ulwazi, kanye nedatha ukuze inqume ukuthi yiziphi izimo (uma zikhona) ezingasetshenziswa ukulawula imishini yohlobo lwesekethe. Le nhlangano ithe i-OSHA icabanga nokubuyekeza imithetho yokukhiya/yokuthega amarobhothi, "lokhu kuzobonisa imikhuba emihle embonini kanye nentuthuko yezobuchwepheshe ekulawuleni amandla ayingozi embonini yamarobhothi." Ingxenye yesizathu ukuvela kwamarobhothi asebenzisanayo noma "amarobhothi asebenzisanayo" asebenza nabasebenzi abangabantu. I-Plastics Industry Association ilungiselela imibono ukuze ihlangabezane nesikhathi esinqunyiwe se-ejensi sango-Agasti 19. Inhlangano yezohwebo eseWashington ikhiphe isitatimende esikhuthaza abaprosesa bepulasitiki ukuthi banikeze iseluleko ku-OSHA ngoba ukuvalwa/ukufakwa ohlwini kuthinta kakhulu abasebenzisi bemishini yepulasitiki—hhayi abakhiqizi bemishini kuphela. "Embonini yamapulasitiki yase-US, ukuphepha kubaluleke kakhulu — ezinkulungwaneni zezinkampani ezikuyo kanye namakhulu ezinkulungwane zezisebenzi ezenza kube ngokoqobo. [I-Plastics Industry Association] isekela amazinga okulawula anamuhla futhi ivumela ukusetshenziswa okuphumelelayo kwentuthuko yezobuchwepheshe ukulawula amandla ayingozi, futhi izimisele ukusiza i-OSHA ekwenzeni imithetho yamanje neyesikhathi esizayo," kusho inhlangano yezohwebo esitatimendeni esilungisiwe.
