Prevent, Protect, and Mitigate through our Hierarchy of Controls (Mixer vs Shirt video)

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.

1. GUARDING to PREVENT exposure to hazardous energy,
2. NO LOOSE clothes around power transmission devices (even well-guarded devices) to PROTECT workers,
3. 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!
