  2. Who is the Motor Safety Association ? • Advise & assist members with safety issues. • Demonstrate methods of returning workers to the workplace as soon and as safely as practical. (RTW) • Inspections, Noise Level Testing, Ergonomics, Baseline Audits, COR Certification. • www.motorsafety.ca @MotorSafetySK

  3. Introduction • What is LOTO? • Provincial OHS LOTO Legislation & CSA Std • LOTO Procedure • LOTO Devices • LOTO Hazard Alerts (FINES) • Questions

  4. My keys fit most models of machinery..

  5. What is LOTO? • Lock out tag out is the term used to identify and positively secure a device from being able to energize a system. www.motorsafety.ca

  6. What Is The Purpose Of LOTO? • Ensure the safety of employees when working on and/or around equipment and machinery during: • Machinery repairs • Scheduled maintenance • Installation of equipment • Removal of equipment www.motorsafety.ca

  7. When do I lockout? • You must lockout before you begin any servicing or maintenance activities where the unexpected energization, (start-up or release of stored energy) could cause injury. • A good rule of thumb is: whenever the guarding is removed, or by-passed, or any part of your body can come in contact with the working parts during service/maintenance lockout must be done! Basic R www.motorsafety.ca

  8. What if I cannot Lock it out? • If a device cannot be locked out due to the unavailability of a lockout device, a tag is affixed at the point of control utilizing a cable tie strap • The tag’s positioning should be obvious to anyone attempting to operate the equipment. • The operator's name, time, and date started should be displayed on the tag. • The tags are a warning to others that work is in progress and DO NOT START, DO NOT OPERATE, etc.). www.motorsafety.ca

  9. Electrical Mechanical Hydraulic Pneumatic Thermal Chemical Gravity www.motorsafety.ca

  10. It's the Law! • Provincial OHS Regulations to support this……… www.motorsafety.ca

  11. British Columbia Regulation #10 * 10.3 When lockout required (1) If machinery or equipment is shut down for maintenance, no work may be done until (a) all parts and attachments have been secured against inadvertent movement, (b) where the work will expose workers to energy sources, the hazard has been effectively controlled, and (c) the energy isolating devices have been locked out as required by this Part. (2) If machinery or equipment is in use for normal production work, subsection (1) applies if a work activity creates a risk of injury to workers from the movement of the machinery or equipment, or exposure to an energy source, and the machinery or equipment is not effectively safeguarded to protect the workers from the risk. www.motorsafety.ca

  12. Alberta Regulation Part 15(3)(4) Occupational Health and Safety Code 2009 (3) “Locking” the  isolation  by  ensuring that the  energy‐isolating  device  and  all relevant components are  physically secured to prevent the release of energy  that could cause inadvertent movement or activation. Access to the securing device must be properly  managed.  (4) Once the work activity has been completed, returning the system to operation  by removing any securing  devices, verifying that no worker is in danger, and  releasing the energy‐isolating device. www.motorsafety.ca

  13. Saskatchewan Regulation #139 139(1) Subject to section 140, before a worker undertakes the maintenance, repair, test or adjustment of a machine other than a power tool, an employer or contractor shall ensure that the machine is locked out and remains locked out during that activity if not doing so would put the worker at risk. (2) Before a worker undertakes the maintenance, repair, test or adjustment of a power tool, an employer or contractor shall ensure that the energy source has been isolated from the power tool, any residual energy in the power tool has been dissipated and the energy source remains isolated during that activity. www.motorsafety.ca

  14. Manitoba Regulation 16.14 (1) Lockout –no worker is to perform work on a machine that is serviced, repaired, tested, cleaned, maintained or adjusted until the machine has come to a complete stop and the worker performing work on the machine has locked out the machinery. Lock to be removed only by the worker who installed it or by a competent person in an emergency situation www.motorsafety.ca

  15. CSA Standard for LOTO • Canadian standard CSA Z460-05 (R2010), identifies: • Written program and lockout procedures • Shut down and lockout or tagout of machines and equipment, • Employees training in their role in the lockout/tag out program • Periodic inspections conducted to maintain or enhance the energy control program. www.motorsafety.ca

  16. Lockout or Tag out System Procedure • Notify affected employees that a lockout or tagout systems is going to be utilized. • If the machine is operating, shut it down by the normal stopping procedure (depress clutch, stop button, keys, etc.). More www.motorsafety.ca

  17. Lockout or Tag out System Procedure • Stored energy (such as that in springs, elevated loaders, rotating flywheels, hydraulic systems, and air pressure, etc.) must be dissipated or restrained by methods such as repositioning, jack stands, bleeding down, etc. More www.motorsafety.ca

  18. Lockout or Tag out System Procedure • After ensuring that no personnel are exposed, and as a check on having disconnected the energy sources, operate the normal operating controls to make certain the equipment will not operate. CAUTION: Return operating control(s) to "neutral" or "off" position after the test. More www.motorsafety.ca

  19. Lockout or Tag out System Procedure • Lockout and/or tag out the energy isolating devices with assigned individual lock(s) or tag(s). • The equipment is now locked out or tagged out. www.motorsafety.ca

  20. What’s the Procedure for Removal of Locks and Tags? • Check the area for Scene Safety. • Make sure that locks or tags are removed ONLY by those employees who attached the locks or tags; and • Notify affected employees after removing locks or tags and before starting equipment or machines. www.motorsafety.ca

  21. What are lockout devices? • Any device that uses a positive means, such as a lock, blank flanges, to hold an energy-isolating device in a safe position, thereby preventing the energizing of machinery or equipment. • Lockout devices should be stored in the lockout center. www.motorsafety.ca

  22. LOTO Center & Tags

  23. Single lock out device

  24. What applies when two or more people work on a machine? • Each technician shall place his/her own personal lockout device or tagout device on the energy isolating device(s). • If the energy isolating device(s) can only accept one locking device, then a hasp must be used to insure continuity in protecting everyone performing the service or maintenance. www.motorsafety.ca

  37. British Columbia – 39 year old worker loses eye A worker was injured while clearing sawdust from around a saw using an air hose with a four-foot aluminum pipe nozzle extension. The saw was not shut down and the worker struck the saw with the pipe, causing the pipe to break. A piece of pipe struck the worker in the face. The worker lost an eye as a result of the injury. The worker did not shut down and lock out the saw and was not wearing protective eye equipment.

Manitoba – Norstar Manufacturing • Amount Fined: $2 500.00 • Non compliance of Improvement Order issued on June 11, 2013 - Lock Out Safety Precautions • A program to lock out machinery or render it inoperative when the machine is serviced, repaired, tested, cleaned, maintained or adjusted has not been implemented, which may expose workers to unexpected hazards.Workplace Safety and Health Regulation 16.14(1)

  39. Ontario Ontario Thyssen Krupp Industrial Thyssen Krupp Industrial Services Canada Inc, was fined $160,000 for a violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act after a worker was injured. The supervisor, was fined $11,000 in relation to the same incident . On February 25, 2009, a worker was doing electrical upgrades at the company’s warehouse. As the worker was removing conductors from an electrical panel, a bare conductor touched the side of the electrical panel, causing an arc flash. The worker sustained serious electrical burns. A Ministry of Labour investigation found that the electrical panel was not disconnected from the power source, locked out or tagged before the work started.

  40. New Jersey, USA American Biltrite OSHA has cited American Biltrite Inc. for serious safety and health violations. An OSHA investigation was initiated in November 2011 following the death of a worker who was crushed in a coating machine while attempting to clear a jam. The company failed to use energy control, or “lockout/tag out,” procedures prior to allowing the employee to enter the machine’s danger area. Proposed penalties total $51,300.
