Employees across America service machines every day, which can be dangerous if the correct procedures aren’t followed, as was the case with the Bumblebee Tuna tragedy. Many serious injuries, even fatalities, have occurred when workers thought a machine they were servicing, or its power source, was turned off. Machines can unexpectedly start up because of stored energy that wasn’t properly released or because another employee didn’t realize it wasn’t safe to turn on. These types of incidents can be avoided by lockout/tagout (LOTO), which disables the equipment and prevents the release of hazardous energy while service and maintenance are performed.
There’s no question effective training saves lives, and inadequate training can cost lives. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the implementation of injury and illness prevention programs can minimize injuries by 15% to 35% for employers that lack safety and health programs. Hence, supervisors entrusted with the responsibility of training employees should have the necessary knowledge required to do so. It’s the safety manager’s duty to guarantee that individuals have the necessary knowledge to carry out their jobs safely and efficiently.
