What is lockout?<\/h3>\n

Lockout is a preventive mechanism that consists in installing a padlock on any possible energy source—whether mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, chemical, thermal, nuclear or radiation—that could be accidentally or deliberately turned on while work is being performed or while a person is in the danger zone of a machine, equipment or system.<\/p>\n

The aim of lockout is to ensure that:<\/p>\n

– all energy sources are isolated or eliminated before working on equipment;
\n– all energy sources have been dissipated and set to “zero” for the duration of the work. <\/p>\n

It is required when working on machines for various reasons: maintenance, troubleshooting and inspection, as well as installation and deinstallation. <\/p>\n

Standardizing marking<\/h3>\n

A new lockout program is being developed in our plants across Canada. Its main purpose is to standardize all machine markings to Canadian standards, using a laser engraving process. 
\nThe objectives of the initiative are to:
\n– enhance employee safety in the plant by shutting off all energy sources to the machine;
\n– save time during machine maintenance and repair phases;
\n– facilitate swapping of machines between one division and another. <\/p>\n

The first marking will be done this month in our Longueuil plant. It will then be rolled out across Canada in the coming months. <\/p>\n

Instauración de un nuevo programa para candar<\/h2>\n

¿Qué significa “candar”?<\/h3>\n

“Candar” es un mecanismo de prevención que consiste en instalar un candado sobre todas las fuentes de energía posibles, ya sea mecánica, eléctrica, neumática, hidráulica, química, térmica, nuclear y por radiación que puedan ponerse en marcha de manera accidental o voluntaria al realizar trabajos, mientras que una persona se encuentra en la zona peligrosa de una máquina, de un equipo o de un sistema.<\/p>\n

El principio de poner candados es para asegurarse de que:
\n• todas las fuentes de energía estén aisladas o sean eliminadas antes de trabajar con un equipo;
\n• todas las fuentes de energía sean disipadas y mantenidas a “cero” durante los trabajos.<\/p>\n

Por ende, se requiere que se utilice el candado en cuanto se intervenga en las máquinas por diferentes motivos: mantenimiento, reparación, inspección o incluso instalación y desinstalación.<\/p>\n

Homogeneización del marcado<\/h3>\n

Gracias a la iniciativa de Diane Tremblay, nueva Directora Nacional, Salud y Seguridad, se está desarrollando un nuevo programa de instalación de candados en nuestras oficinas de Canadá. El objetivo principal es homogeneizar el sistema de marcado de las máquinas de acuerdo con las normas canadienses y se realizará gracias a un procedimiento de grabado láser.
\nEl objetivo es: 
\n– reforzar la seguridad de los empleados en la fábrica cortando toda fuente de energía de la máquina;
\n– ganar tiempo durante las fases de mantenimiento y de reparación de la máquinas;
\n– facilitar el intercambio de máquinas de una división a otra.<\/p>\n

Los primeros marcados se realizarán este mes en nuestra fábrica de Longueuil, para después extenderse por todo Canadá en los siguientes meses.<\/p>\n
