Hazardous Energy
The automotive manufacturing industry exposes
workers to many different types of hazardous energy –
predominantly mechanical, electrical, pneumatic,
and kinetic.
Workers can be exposed to significant hazards when
machines that produce hazardous energy are not
properly safeguarded during operation or locked
out during maintenance activities. Exposure to these
hazards can result in serious injuries such as amputation
of limbs or death, and costly liabilities for employers.
Hazard prevention programs should include a review
of your machine guarding, pre-shift inspections, a well-
defined lockout program, and ongoing measurement
of program effectiveness. All procedures and programs
should also clearly outline supervisor and worker
responsibilities, include proper training, and refer to any
applicable legislation and standards.
