Robust workplace safety practices and procedures are essential to keep operations running smoothly

and efficiently while maintaining a safe working environment for employees. Regulatory bodies such as the

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have been active in auditing facilities for compliance

and issuing citations and significant fines when violations are observed. Periodic equipment maintenance is

required to keep things running smoothly, calling for equipment to be shutdown before work is performed

and a lockout/tagout procedure is followed to ensure that the machine remains in a zero-energy state until

the maintenance crew has finished the job. A comprehensive lockout/tagout program must include: machine

specific procedures to bring equipment to a zero-energy state, a training curriculum for all employees in a

facility, and processes to maintain and adjust the program.

Key elements of a robust Safety System include the following:

• Awareness of workplace safety regulations • Training for all involved

• Identification of safety hazards • Availability of safety devices and equipment

• Procedures for bringing equipment to azero energy state

Safety System Considerations

In today’s environment, workplace safety is a key concern for all productionoperations. Managing these concerns and the associated energy sourcescan be challenging. Below are a few considerations as part of an overallsafety program:

• How do you ensure compliance with workplace safetyregulations (OSHA)?

• Do you have a training and certification program in place tokeep your workforce aware of the requirements?

• Are you familiar with the latest regulatory changes and/orupdates, (OSHA and NFPA)?

• Do you have a corporate safety policy that is clear, wellunderstood, and enforced by those that are involved?

• Does your Lockout/Tagout program take into account alltypes of energy? Energy sources include: electrical,mechanical, hydraulic, chemical, kinetic, and others.

• Do you have available to your employees the necessarysafety devices and equipment required for safe operations?

• Do you properly identify and communicate hazards withinyour infrastructure to employees?
