Noma kunjalo, enye yezephula-mthetho eziyi-10 eziphezulu ezivame ukucashunwa yi-Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) ekuhlolweni kukahulumeni ukwehluleka ukuqeqesha abasebenzi ngokwanele ngezinqubo ze-LOTO. Ukuze ubhale izinhlelo ze-LOTO ezisebenzayo, udinga ukuqonda iziqondiso ze-OSHA, kanye nemikhuba emihle yokuxhumana nokuqeqesha. Ngokuhlanganisa lawa masu, izinkampani zokukhiqiza zingaqinisekisa impilo nokuphepha kwabasebenzi bazo ngenkathi zigcina ukusebenza kahle. Sikholelwa ukuthi izindaba zemboni zibalulekile emsebenzini wakho, futhi i-Digest esezingeni eliphezulu isekela zonke izinhlobo zebhizinisi.
Kodwa-ke, othile kufanele akhokhele lokhu okuqukethwe. Yilapho ukukhangisa kungena khona. Kukugcina unolwazi ngemikhiqizo nezinsizakalo ezintsha ezifanele imboni yakho. UWilliam A. Levinson, isihloko esibaluleke kakhulu, i-lockout/tagout, umelela lokho okwashiwo yiFord Motor Company eminyakeni ecishe ibe yikhulu edlule: “Ungenzi.” Umqondo kwakungewona ukutshela abasebenzi ukuthi “akekho okufanele avule umshini ngenkathi besebenza,” kodwa ukuvala wonke amandla kagesi nawomshini ukuze bangakwazi ukuwuvula.
Kodwa-ke, njengoba abalobi besho, lokhu kungenye yezenzo ezivame kakhulu zokwephulwa kwe-OSHA. Muva nje, isisebenzi se-tuna sabulawa ngoba ihhavini esasisebenza kulo lalivuliwe. Amasu okuxoxwe ngawo kulesi sihloko kufanele akuvimbele kalula lokhu. Ngiyabonga ngokwabelana! Ngiyaxolisa ukuzwa ngalezi zigameko ezingavinjelwa futhi ngithemba ukuthi imboni iyaqhubeka nokuhamba ngendlela efanele. Ukuthi “Angikwazi kodwa angikwenzi” kuyinkulumo enhle! Ngokusobala, izinhlawulo ze-OSHA zenzelwe ukukhuthaza imikhuba emihle kuphela. Nginelukuluku, ngokusekelwe kokuhlangenwe nakho kwakho, yisiphi isizathu esivame kakhulu sokuba izinkampani zehluleke ukusungula/ukugcina uhlelo lwe-LOTO olusebenza kahle kakhulu? Angazi ukuthi kungani i-LOTO ingalusebenzisi kabanzi; kungenye yezenzo ezivame ukukhulunywa ngazo ze-OSHA. Lokhu kungabandakanya ukungazi lutho, noma abantu abangafuni ukuthatha isikhathi sokwenza into efanele. Kodwa-ke, uma kuphathwa kahle, kungenza izehlakalo zokuphepha zibe nzima kakhulu. Umshini ongenamandla kagesi noma omshini awusizi ngalutho kunoma ubani.
Inqubo yokukhiya/ukuthega (i-LOTO) ivamile ezindaweni zezimboni nezokukhiqiza. Noma kunjalo, enye yezephula-mthetho eziyi-10 eziphezulu ezivame ukucashunwa yi-Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) ekuhlolweni kukahulumeni ukwehluleka ukuqeqesha abasebenzi ngokwanele ngezinqubo ze-LOTO.
Ukuze ubhale izinhlelo ze-LOTO ezisebenzayo, udinga ukuqonda iziqondiso ze-OSHA, kanye nemikhuba emihle yokuxhumana nokuqeqesha. Ngokuhlanganisa lawa masu, izinkampani zokukhiqiza zingaqinisekisa impilo nokuphepha kwabasebenzi bazo ngenkathi zigcina ukusebenza kahle.
