Muva nje, uchungechunge lwezingozi zokulimala kwemishini ezibikwe yiminyango yokuphathwa kwezimo eziphuthumayo ezweni lonke luphinde lwagxilisa ukunaka komphakathi ekuqalisweni kokusebenza kwe-I-Lockout Tagout (i-LOTO)izinqubo zokukhiqiza ezimbonini. Idatha ikhombisa ukuthi ngaphezu kwama-80% ezingozi zokulungiswa kwemishini zibangelwa ukwehluleka ukusebenzisa imithethonqubo ye-LOTO ngokuqinile, okwembula ukuthi lesi sinyathelo sokuphepha, esivame ukubhekwa “njengenqubo evamile”, empeleni siyindlela ebalulekile yokuzivikela empilweni nasekuphepheni kokukhiqiza.
I-LOTO, ebhekisela emkhubeni wokukhiya imithombo yamandla yemishini nokulengisa amathegi esixwayiso ngesikhathi sokulungisa, iwumthethonqubo oyisisekelo wokuphepha ezimbonini ezinobungozi obukhulu njengokukhiqiza imishini, ubunjiniyela bamakhemikhali, kanye nokumbiwa kwamalahle. Kodwa-ke, ekukhiqizeni kwangempela, amanye amabhizinisi kanye nabaqhubi banomqondo wenhlanhla, bekholelwa ukuthi "ukulungiswa kwesikhashana akudingi izinyathelo ezinzima kangaka" noma "imishini ejwayelekile ingasetshenziswa ngaphandle kokukhiya". Lolu hlobo lokunganaki oluholela ezingozini ezivame ukwenzeka.
Esimweni sengozi sakamuva efektri yemishini eNyakatho yeShayina, isisebenzi sokulungisa sazama ukulungisa ibhande lokuhambisa ngaphandle kokukhiya inkinobho kagesi. Ngesikhathi sokusebenza, uzakwabo owayengazi ngalesi simo wavula imishini, okwaholela ekutheni isisebenzi sibanjwe emshinini futhi salimala kakhulu. Umbiko wophenyo ukhombe ukuthi inkampani yayisungule izinhlelo zokuphatha i-LOTO, kodwa kwakungekho ukugadwa nokuhlolwa enkambisweni yokuqalisa, futhi abasebenzi babengenalo ukuqeqeshwa okuhlelekile kokuphepha, ekugcineni baguqula uhlelo lokuphepha lwaba “iphepha”.
Ngokuphambene nalokho, amabhizinisi asebenzisa ngokuqinile izinqubo ze-LOTO anciphise ngempumelelo izingozi zokuphepha. I-Jinneng Holding Shuozhou Coal Mine, ebilokhu ikhuthaza "isiko lokukhiya" eminyakeni yamuva nje, ayikaze ithole izingozi zokuphepha ekunakekelweni kwemishini iminyaka emithathu ilandelana. Imayini yakhe incwadi yokusebenza ye-LOTO enemininingwane yezinhlobo ezahlukene zemishini, yahlomisa isisebenzi ngasinye sokulungisa nge-lock ne-tag ezinikele, futhi yasebenzisa isimiso esithi "ngubani okhiyayo, ubani ovulayo". Ngaphambi komsebenzi ngamunye wokulungisa, kunikezwa umuntu okhethekile ukuhlola isimo sokuhlukaniswa kwamandla, futhi amathegi esixwayiso abonisa ngokucacile abasebenzi bokulungisa, isikhathi kanye namaphuzu engozi. "I-lock encane akuyona nje ukuhlukaniswa kwamandla emishini, kodwa futhi 'i-lock yomthwalo wemfanelo' yawo wonke umqhubi," kusho umqondisi wokuphepha wemayini.
Ochwepheshe abafanele bathi i-LOTO ayiyona "indlela" encane yokuphatha ukukhiqiza, kodwa iwuhlelo lokuphatha ukuphepha oluhlelekile oluhilela imishini, abasebenzi kanye nomthwalo wemfanelo. Umongo wayo ukuqeda ingozi yokuqalisa imishini ngokungalindelekile emthonjeni. Kumabhizinisi, ukusebenzisa i-LOTO akusona nje isibopho esisemthethweni, kodwa futhi kuwumthwalo wemfanelo wokuvikela izimpilo nempahla yabasebenzi; kubaqhubi, ukuhambisana nezinqubo ze-LOTO akuyona nje imfuneko yomsebenzi, kodwa futhi kuyindlela yokuzivikela.
Ngokuthuthuka okuqhubekayo kokumiswa kokuphepha kokukhiqiza, iminyango yokuphathwa kwezimo eziphuthumayo yendawo iye yenza ngokulandelana izenzo ezikhethekile zokulungisa ukuze kusetshenziswe izinqubo ze-LOTO. Abahloli bagxila ekuhloleni ukuthi amabhizinisi aklame yini iziqondiso zokusebenza ze-LOTO eziqondiwe, ukuthi abasebenzi bathole ukuqeqeshwa kobungcweti, nokuthi ngabe kunezinkinga ezifana "nokukhiya mbumbulu" kanye "nokumaka okungenalutho". Kumabhizinisi ahluleka ukusebenzisa uhlelo olukhona, ukulungisa kuyalelwa ngaphakathi kwesikhathi esinqunyiwe, futhi labo abanezimo ezinzima bayajeziswa ngokuhambisana nemithethonqubo efanele.
Njengoba isisho sithi, “Ukuphepha akuyona into encane, futhi umthwalo wemfanelo unzima kuneNtaba iTai”. Ukuqaliswa kwezinqubo ze-LOTO kuyindlela encane yokuphathwa kokuphepha kokukhiqiza. Akukhona nje kuphela “ukukhiya” umthombo wamandla wemishini, kodwa futhi “nokukhiya” izingozi zokuphepha ezingaba khona, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, “ukubamba” umthwalo wemfanelo wokuphepha kokukhiqiza kanye nethemba lokuphila nempilo. Kuphela lapho ibhizinisi ngalinye kanye nomqhubi ngamunye ephatha i-LOTO ngesimo sengqondo esiqinile nesingathi sína, lapho singakha khona isithiyo esiqinile sokuphepha sokukhiqiza kwezimboni.
