Tshixa IiMfuno ze-OSHA: Ukuqinisekisa uKhuseleko lweNdawo yoMsebenzi

Intshayelelo
Iinkqubo ze-Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) zibalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukhuseleko lwabasebenzi kwimizi-mveliso. I-Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) iseke iimfuno ezithile ekufuneka abaqeshi bazilandele ukukhusela abasebenzi kwimithombo yamandla eyingozi. Kule nqaku, siza kuxubusha iimfuno eziphambili kumgangatho we-LOTO we-OSHA kunye nendlela abaqeshi abangayithobela ngayo le mimiselo ukudala indawo ekhuselekileyo yokusebenza.

Ukuqonda imithombo yamandla anobungozi
Ngaphambi kokuphonononga kwiimfuno ezithile zomgangatho we-LOTO we-OSHA, kubalulekile ukuqonda imithombo yamandla eyingozi ebeka umngcipheko kubasebenzi. Le mithombo yamandla ibandakanya amandla ombane, oomatshini, olwenziwa ngamanzi, umoya, imichiza, kunye namandla ashushu. Xa le mithombo yamandla ingalawulwa ngokufanelekileyo ngexesha lokugcinwa okanye ukusetyenzwa kwemisebenzi, inokubangela ukulimala kakhulu okanye ukufa.

I-OSHA's Lock Out Tag Out Requirements
Umgangatho weLOTO ye-OSHA, efumaneka kwi-29 CFR 1910.147, ichaza iimfuno ekufuneka abaqeshi bazilandele ukukhusela abasebenzi kwimithombo yamandla eyingozi. Iimfuno eziphambili zomgangatho ziquka:

1. Ukuphuhlisa iNkqubo yeLOTO eBhaliweyo: Abaqeshi kufuneka baphuhlise kwaye baphumeze inkqubo yeLOTO ebhaliweyo echaza iinkqubo zokulawula imithombo yamandla eyingozi ngexesha lolondolozo okanye lemisebenzi yokusevisa. Inkqubo kufuneka ibandakanye amanyathelo aneenkcukacha zokubeka yodwa imithombo yamandla, ukuyikhusela ngezitshixo kunye neethegi, kunye nokuqinisekisa ukuba izixhobo zicinywe amandla phambi kokuba kuqale umsebenzi.

2. UQeqesho lwaBasebenzi: Abaqeshi kufuneka banike uqeqesho kubasebenzi malunga nokusetyenziswa ngendlela eyiyo kweenkqubo zeLOTO. Abasebenzi kufuneka baqeqeshwe ngendlela yokuchonga imithombo yamandla eyingozi, indlela yokutshixa kakuhle kunye nokuphawula izixhobo, kunye nendlela yokuqinisekisa ukuba imithombo yamandla ibekwe yodwa.

3. Izixhobo ezithe ngqo kwiiNkqubo: Abaqeshi mabaqulunqe iinkqubo zeLOTO ezingqamene nezixhobo zomatshini ngamnye okanye isixhobo esifuna ukulungiswa okanye ukuseviswa. Ezi nkqubo kufuneka zilungelelaniswe kwimithombo ethile yamandla kunye neengozi ezinxulumene nesixhobo ngasinye.

4. Ukuhlolwa kwamaxesha ngamaxesha: Abaqeshi mabaqhube uhlolo lweenkqubo zeLOTO ngamaxesha athile ukuqinisekisa ukuba zilandelwa ngokuchanekileyo. Uhlolo kufuneka lwenziwe ngabaqeshwa abagunyazisiweyo abanolwazi ngezixhobo kunye neenkqubo.

5. Ukuphononongwa nokuHlaziywa kwaBasebenzi: Abaqeshi mabaphonononge kwaye bayihlaziye iprogram yeLOTO ngamaxesha athile ukuqinisekisa ukuba ihlala isebenza kwaye ihlaziyiwe ngalo naluphi na utshintsho kwisixhobo okanye kwiinkqubo.

Ukuthotyelwa kweMigangatho yeLOTO ye-OSHA
Ukuthobela umgangatho weLOTO ye-OSHA, abaqeshi kufuneka bathathe amanyathelo akhawulezileyo ukuphumeza nokunyanzelisa iinkqubo zeLOTO emsebenzini. Oku kubandakanya ukuphuhlisa inkqubo yeLOTO ebhaliweyo, ukubonelela ngoqeqesho kubasebenzi, ukudala iinkqubo ezithe ngqo kwisixhobo, ukwenza uhlolo lwamaxesha athile, nokuphonononga nokuhlaziya inkqubo njengoko kuyimfuneko.

Ngokulandela iimfuno ze-LOTO ze-OSHA, abaqeshi banokudala indawo ekhuselekileyo yokusebenza kunye nokukhusela abasebenzi kwiingozi zemithombo yamandla eyingozi. Ukubeka phambili ukhuseleko ngeenkqubo ezifanelekileyo zeLOTO akuqinisekisi kuphela ukuthotyelwa kwemimiselo ye-OSHA kodwa kuthintela iingozi kunye nokulimala emsebenzini.
