SBN Leverages Technology to Help Prevent Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) Related Incidents
Safety is not just about OSHA compliance, learn how LOTO procedures can improve your osha compliance practices.
It should come as no surprise that powerful machinery is central to the modern workplace’s efficiency. Whether you’re working with cranes on a construction site or running a factory, machinery makes it possible to achieve incredible feats. Now for the average worker these machines have safety systems which make them relatively safe to interact with and operate, but for those who need to start, stop, or maintain these machines, there are a whole slew of other potential hazards that come into play.
Lockout tagout procedures are a way of documenting all of the necessary steps that go into interacting with potentially dangerous machinery and making sure nothing unexpected happens along the way. According to Cal/OSHA: “Failure to lockout, tag-out, and block-out (LOTO) machinery before working on it is a major cause of serious injuries and deaths. Workers can be electrocuted, suffer severe crushing injuries, and lose fingers, hands, and arms because machinery is inadvertently turned on while it is being cleaned, repaired, serviced, set-up, adjusted, or unjammed.”
