Some may think this is crazy, I do; but I have had many debates with businesses during audits and serious accident investigations around this argument. There are a lot of mind-sets in plants that have many presses that LOTO does not apply to this task as it would slow production too much and put them out of business.

UPDATE from my OSHA contacts: The NEP was written so that OSHA offices would not single out NH3 refrigeration and CL2 water treatment processes.

When we do our many third-party S&H audits around the country, there are a few findings we could just leave on our spreadsheet as they are so common from business to business. One of these common findings is the lack of annual training for employees on their rights to access, view, copy, etc., their own personal medical records, exposure monitoring for chemicals, noise, radiation, etc., and any...
