Lock Out Tag Out: Safety Topics - June 2021 - Week 3
If equipment is not properly shut down before maintenance, injuries such as the following can occur:
- a jammed conveyor belt that suddenly releases can crush the worker releasing the jam
- a steam valve in a working area may release unexpectedly and burn nearby workers
- or wiring on equipment may short if the electrical current has not been disconnected and shock the worker.
This is why following Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) procedures is so important even for minor machine or equipment maintenance.
