Amaphesenti angamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye ezingozi zokulungiswa kwemishini zivela ekungafakwani kwenqubo yokukhiya ngaphandle
Muva nje, umbiko wakamuva wezibalo zezingozi zokuphepha komkhiqizo okhishwe yi-National Emergency Management Department udonse ukunaka okukhulu embonini. Idatha ikhombisa ukuthingaphezu kwama-90% ezingozi zokulungiswa kwemishini embonini yokukhiqiza zibangelwa ukushiywa kwezinqubo ze-lockout tagout (LOTO)onyakeni odlule. Lesi sibalo esiphawulekayo siphinde saveza isimemezelo sokusetshenziswa kwemithethonqubo yokuphepha ekukhiqizweni kwezimboni, sikhomba ukuthi ukunganakwa kwemisebenzi ye-LOTO sekuyinto “ebulala kakhulu” ekuxhumaneni kokugcinwa kwemishini.
I-lockout tagout, njengesinyathelo sokuphepha esidingekayo sokuhlukanisa imithombo yamandla emishini ngesikhathi sokulungisa, idinga ukuthi opharetha banqume ukunikezwa kwamandla, igesi, i-hydraulic kanye nokunye ukunikezwa kwamandla kwemishini kuqala, bese bevala idivayisi yokuhlukanisa amandla, bese belenga ithegi yesixwayiso ecacile ukuvimbela ukuthi imishini ingaqalwa ngengozi ngabasebenzi abangabalulekile. Kodwa-ke, ekusebenzeni kwangempela, le "nqubo yokusindisa impilo" ivame ukunganakwa ngenxa yezici ezifana nezikhathi zokwakha eziqinile, ukucabanga okungahleliwe kwabasebenzi, kanye nokuphathwa okunganele kwamabhizinisi.
Icala elihlaziywe ebhukwini livamile. Efektri yokucubungula izingxenye zezimoto eNingizimu yeShayina, isisebenzi sokulungisa sabelwa ukulungisa umshini wokunyathela. Ukuze onge isikhathi, akazange ayivale inkinobho kagesi noma alengise ithegi yesixwayiso, wagibela ngqo emshinini ukuze asebenze. Phakathi nokulungiswa, isisebenzi esisha eshabhu, esasingajwayelene nesimo sendawo, sacabanga ukuthi imishini ayisebenzi futhi sacindezela inkinobho yokuqala. Ukusebenza okungazelelwe komshini wokunyathela kwabangela ukuthi isisebenzi sokulungisa sicindezelwe yisakhiwo somshini, okwaholela ekulimaleni okubulalayo. Uphenyo luthole ukuthi ifektri yayinemithetho yokuphatha i-LOTO ephepheni, kodwa kwakungekho ukugadwa nokuhlolwa kwendawo, futhi abasebenzi babengakatholi ukuqeqeshwa okuhlelekile kokusebenza kwe-LOTO.
Izingozi ezifanayo zivamile ezimbonini ezahlukene. Emayini yamalahle eNyakatho yeShayina, ithimba lokulungisa lehlulekile ukusebenzisa inqubo ye-LOTO lapho lilungisa uhlelo lwebhande lokuthutha. Umshayeli waqala ngephutha imishini, okwabangela ukuba izisebenzi ezimbili zokulungisa zifakwe emshinini futhi zilimale kabi. Esikhungweni samakhemikhali eMpumalanga yeShayina, ukwehluleka ukukhiya ivalvu yepayipi ngesikhathi sokulungisa kwaholela ekuvuzeni kwamagesi anobuthi nayingozi, okwaholela engozini yokubulala iqembu.
“Izinga labalimale abangu-90% liyisifundo esijulile esifingqiwe ezingozini eziningi,” kusho uchwepheshe wokuqapha ukuphepha owahlanganyela ekuhlanganisweni kwezindaba. Uveze ukuthi amabhizinisi amaningi nabasebenzi basabheka i-LOTO “njengento enzima kakhulu,” bekholelwa ukuthi “isikhathi esifushane sokulungisa ngeke siholele ezingozini” noma “imishini ejwayelekile akudingeki ikhiywe”. Lo mqondo ongalungile uholele ngqo ekwenzekeni njalo kwezingozi zokuphepha. Eqinisweni, ukuqala ngengozi kwemishini akunandaba nobude besikhathi sokulungisa, futhi ngisho nomzuzwana wokunganaki kungaholela emiphumeleni engenakulungiswa.
Ukuphendula le nkinga evelele, umnyango wokuphathwa kwezimo eziphuthumayo ubeke ngokucacile izidingo zokulungisa ebhukwini. Zonke izinkampani ezimbonini ezisengozini enkulu njengokukhiqiza imishini, amalahle, imboni yamakhemikhali kumele zihlole ngokushesha ukusetshenziswa kwezinqubo ze-LOTO, zakhe iziqondiso zokusebenza ezinemininingwane ngokwezimpawu zemishini ehlukene, futhi zihlomise abasebenzi bokulungisa ngezingidi ezikhethekile namathegi angenakushintshwa. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, amabhizinisi kudingeka aqinise ukuqeqeshwa kokuphepha kwabasebenzi, afake ukusebenza kwe-LOTO ekuhlolweni kwamakhono esikhundla, futhi amise indlela yokuqapha eqinile kanye nokuziphendulela. Kumabhizinisi ahluleka ukusebenzisa uhlelo lwe-LOTO olukhona, azoyalwa ukuba amise ukukhiqiza ukuze kulungiswe, futhi labo abanezimo ezinzima bazojeziswa ngokuhambisana nemithetho nemigomo efanele.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, umnyango wokuphathwa kwezimo eziphuthumayo uphinde wethula umkhankaso okhethekile wokulungisa izinqubo ze-LOTO ezweni lonke, uhlela abasebenzi bomthetho ukuthi benze ukuhlolwa okuqondile emabhizinisini abalulekile. Ukuhlolwa kugxile ekutheni ibhizinisi lidale yini amazinga okusebenza e-LOTO aqondiwe, ukuthi abasebenzi bawazi kahle yini inqubo yokusebenza ejwayelekile, nokuthi kukhona yini izinto ezifana "nokukhiya mbumbulu" kanye "nokumaka okungenalutho".
Ukuphepha akuyona into encane, futhi umthwalo wemfanelo unzima kuneMount Tai. Idatha yezinga labalimale engu-90% iyisixwayiso esingenakunakwa. Ikhumbuza zonke izinhlangano zokukhiqiza izimboni ukuthi i-LOTO akuyona into ehlelekile, kodwa iyindlela yokuzivikela eqinile yokuvikela izimpilo zabasebenzi. Kuphela ngokubeka ukusetshenziswa kwezinqubo ze-LOTO kuqala, ukususa ukucabanga okungahleliwe, nokuqinisa "intambo yokuphepha" ngaso sonke isikhathi, lapho singanciphisa khona ngempumelelo ukwenzeka kwezingozi zokulungisa imishini futhi sivikele ukuphepha kwezimpilo nempahla yabasebenzi.
