Yintoni iLockout Tagout? Ukubaluleka koKhuseleko lweLOTO

Njengoko iinkqubo zoshishino zazisanda, ukuqhubela phambili koomatshini kwaqala ukufuna iinkqubo zokulungisa ezikhethekileyo. Kwenzeke iziganeko ezinzulu ngakumbi ezazibandakanya izixhobo zobuchwepheshe obuphezulu ngelo xesha ezibangela iingxaki kuKhuseleko lweLOTO. Ukulungiswa kweenkqubo ezinamandla kwachongwa njengenye yezona zinto ziphambili ezibangela ukwenzakala nokufa kwixesha lokuguquka.

Ngowe-1982, i-American National Standards Institute (ANSI) yapapasha isikhokelo sayo sokuqala malunga nendlela yokutshixa/ukuthena ukuze kubonelelwe ngamanyathelo okhuseleko ekugcinweni kwemithombo yamandla eyingozi. Izikhokelo ze-LOTO zaza emva koko zaba ngumgaqo-nkqubo woKhuseleko lwezeMpilo noMsebenzi (OSHA) ngowe-1989.

Yintoni i-tagout yokukhiya ngaphandle?
Ukutshixa/ukuthega (i-LOTO) kubhekisa kwimikhwa yokhuseleko kunye neenkqubo eziqinisekisa ukuba oomatshini abayingozi bavaliwe ngokufanelekileyo kwaye abakwazi ukukhupha amandla ayingozi ngequbuliso ngexesha lemisebenzi yokulungisa.

Izikhokelo ze-OSHA
Izikhokelo njengoko zichazwe yi-OSHA zigubungela yonke imithombo yamandla, kuquka—kodwa kungaphelelanga apho—oomatshini, oombane, oohydraulic, oomoya, ookhemikhali, kunye noobushushu. Izityalo zokwenza imveliso zihlala zifuna imisebenzi yokulungisa enye okanye indibaniselwano yale mithombo.

I-LOTO, njengoko igama lisitsho, ichaza iindlela ezimbini ngokubanzi zokuqinisekisa ukuba abasebenzi bakhuselekile kwizixhobo eziyingozi ngexesha lemisebenzi yokulungisa - 1) ukuvalelwa ngaphandle, kunye no-2) ukuvalelwa ngaphandle. Ukuvalelwa ngaphandle kuthintela ukufikelela kwizixhobo ezithile ngelixa ukuvalelwa ngaphandle kunika imiqondiso yesilumkiso ebonakalayo yokwazisa abasebenzi ngeengozi ezinokubakho.

Indlela esebenza ngayo i-lockout tagout
I-OSHA, ngeSihloko 29 seKhowudi yeMigaqo yeSizwe (CFR) Icandelo 1910.147, inika imigangatho yokugcinwa ngokufanelekileyo kunye nokulungiswa kwezixhobo ezinokukhupha amandla ayingozi. Iinkampani kufuneka zichonge izixhobo ezifunekayo ngumthetho ukuze zithobele le migangatho yokugcinwa. Kungekuphela nje ukuphepha izigwebo ezinkulu, kodwa, okubaluleke ngakumbi, ukuqinisekisa ukhuseleko lwabasebenzi.

Inkqubo yokubhala eyomeleleyo iyafuneka ukuqinisekisa ukuba zonke izixhobo ziyahambelana nemigaqo karhulumente kwiinkqubo ze-LOTO ngexesha lemisebenzi yokulungisa. Amandla okongeza iinkqubo ze-LOTO kwi-CMMS anokuphucula kakhulu ukubonakala kwenkqubela phambili yemisebenzi enobungozi ngakumbi.
