Iyini i-Lockout Tagout?Ukubaluleka Kokuphepha kwe-LOTO

Njengoba izinqubo zezimboni zithuthuka, ukuthuthuka kwemishini kwaqala ukudinga izinqubo ezikhethekile zokulungisa.Izehlakalo ezibucayi kakhulu zenzeka ezibandakanya okokusebenza kobuchwepheshe obuphezulu ngaleso sikhathi ezidala izinkinga Zokuphepha kwe-LOTO.Ukusevisa amasistimu anamandla anamandla ahlonzwe njengenye yesandla esibalulekile ekulimaleni nasekufeni ezikhathini eziguqukayo.

Imihlahlandlela ye-OSHA
Imihlahlandlela njengoba ibekwe yi-OSHA ihlanganisa yonke imithombo yamandla, okuhlanganisa—kodwa akukhawulelwe—kumishini, kagesi, i-hydraulic, i-pneumatic, amakhemikhali, kanye ne-thermal.Izitshalo ezikhiqizayo ngokuvamile zizodinga imisebenzi yokunakekela eyodwa noma inhlanganisela yale mithombo.

Kudingeka inqubo eqinile yokubhala imibhalo ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi zonke izinto zokusebenza ziyahambisana nemithetho yombuso mayelana nezinqubo ze-LOTO ngesikhathi semisebenzi yokulungisa.Amandla okwengeza izinqubo ze-LOTO ku-CMMS angathuthukisa kakhulu ukubonakala ekuqhubekeleni phambili kwemisebenzi eyingozi kakhulu.
