| Abstract |
Many accidents are due to inadequately protected machinery or equipment that has been shut down/inactivated for repairs, maintenance or other reasons. Such accidents may occur because of contact with electrically live surfaces, exposure to dangerous chemicals, unexpected machine movement or the action of pressurized fluids. In most cases, the victim believes that he/she is safe, while the lock-out system is inadequate. This guide is aimed at setting up lock-out procedures that are appropriate to the situation. Other methods suitable for safe shut-down procedures are also discussed. The guide may be useful for both designers and users of equipment. |
