So much to learn from this video. OSH practices need to understand the concept of Layers of Protection: Prevent, Protect, and Mitigate through our Hierarchy of Controls.
- GUARDING to PREVENT exposure to hazardous energy,
- NO LOOSE clothes around power transmission devices (even well-guarded devices) to PROTECT workers,
- E-Stop to MITIGATE the consequences when #1 and 2 fail!
We also must begin to recognize Torque as a force to be reckoned with! The speed of the hazardous energy can be SLOW, but once it has you, it just becomes a slow-death process. As it played out here, luck is NOT part of any safety process!
