Lockout? We don’t need no stinking lockout… says management!

Just when you think we have seen/heard it all when it comes to management no brainers, but this one bares repeating.  IN-OSHA recently cited a food manufacturing facility with a Willful ( in Indiana they call them “Knowing” citations) for having their employees remove the stainless steel clean out port, and then put their finger on the safety inter-lock switch to let machine continue to run when cleaning out the inclined screw feeder and jog in reverse.  This was the approved standard practice!
