Another example of a worker on the incoming shift killing a co-worker on the out-going shift all because the lack of LOTO

This happens more often than most think:

At 6:30 a.m. on December 7, 2022, an employee was removing wood bark from a de-barker machine at the CHANGE OF NIGHT SHIFT WHEN A DAY SHIFT COWORKER STARTED THE DE- BARKER. The employee was crushed and killed due to internal injuries.

Had the worker performing the “cleaning” task specifically called out as one requiring LOTO, he/she would still be with us today, and a co-worker would be minus a lot of guilt!

LOCK IT OUT!
