TAKE 5 FOR SAFETY E. Lessard May 29, 2018
Work Control Refresher A worker was trouble shooting an electrical issue on a skid mounted control center for a pumping system when he came in contact with 4160 volts. The worker was uninjured. No work plan; no training. By working together managers, supervisors and workers can maintain their work-control focus and avoid potential injuries. Manages and supervisors must understand that their presence in the field provides an opportunity for them to better understand the challenges of the work being performed and the impacts the schedule may be having on the workforce. Workers can use a self-check practice such as a work pause, or by applying a review process such as described in the next few slides 2
A QA inspector failed to sign onto a Lock-Out/Tag- Out before entering a maintenance work area. Upon arriving at the work location, the inspector obtained the work order, and without reviewing, turned directly to the weld data sheet and proceeded to perform his inspection. The inspector made several entries into the work area before realizing he needed to be on a Lock-Out/Tag- Out for the work. Managers and Supervisors During pre-job meetings focus your attention on clearly communicating expectations, including roles and responsibilities for the job, and then ensure workers understand them before proceeding Workers STOP: Before you act, eliminate distractions and take the necessary time to completely focus on the task at hand 3
Managers and Supervisors During the device challenge performed in accordance with Hanford Site Lock and Tag Program requirements, a worker attempted to move the switch lever against the hasp of the lock and heard a sound similar to that of a switch closing. The operator immediately stopped the challenge and notified the supervisor of the discovery. Listen to worker feedback, take the time to understand, and provide the appropriate response Workers ANTICIPATE: Look for things that could go wrong and determine what actions to take if they do QUESTION: Review work instructions. Do you have all of the information needed to safely complete the job? Do you understand your role and responsibilities? 4
Managers and Supervisors Assumptions made during circuit verifications pointed to a particular breaker as isolating power but failed to identify a secondary power source. Recognize when a complex activity is perceived as routine and bring the entire workforce back into focus for the task at hand Workers LOCATE: Walk the job site to identify and understand potential hazards and identify the proper components of that job VERIFY: Compare equipment labels to the assigned work document and get a peer check 5
