By the Numbers: Six Safe Steps
During the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment, the unexpected startup or release of stored energy can result in serious injury or death. Injuries may include electrocution, burns, crushing, cutting, lacerating, amputating, or fracturing body parts. It’s estimated more than 120 deaths and over 50,000 injuries are prevented each year due to following proper lockout/tagout procedures.

Companies have a duty to protect workers both while using equipment and machinery for their intended purpose and when repairing and maintaining that equipment. The primary way of fulfilling that duty is through what’s called “lockout,” which is when a equipment has been turned off and rendered inoperable with the use of a lock.

Focus On: 9 Things You Must Do to Meet CSA Z460 and ANSIASSE Z244.1 Lockout Requirements
Safety devices like barrier guards that are designed to keep workers away from operating machinery don’t do much good when machines are shut down for maintenance and repairs. The danger is that the machinery will start up while being serviced and crush, electrocute, burn and/or amputate the limbs of workers performing the servicing operations. These incidents are typically caused by the inadvertent and unforeseen release of energy left in the system. That’s why OHS laws require you not only to turn off the machine but ensure it’s isolated from its energy source before servicing it. The way to do this is by implementing what’s called a lockout/tagout (LOTO) program.
Supervisor Secret: How to Get Involvement During Meetings

From 1980 to 2017, the number of individuals over the age of 60 doubled to roughly 900 million. This segment of the world’s population will double again by 2050 to nearly 2 billion, according to the 2017 World Population Prospects report by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat. Risk professionals can prepare their organizations for the coming changes and opportunities of an older workforce with the following strategies.

By the Numbers: Falls in the Workplace
Unintentional falls are the most common form of injury across the country: every day last year, falls resulted in almost 1,800 reported emergency department visits and 417 hospital admissions, says a new report by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). In the U.S. in 2017, fatal falls were at their highest level in the 26-year history of the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) accounting for 887 (17 percent) worker deaths.

Focus On: Understanding the Leader’s Role in Creating High Performing Teams
Out of the five dimensions of High Performing Teams (see model), Mutual Respect and Camaraderie is one of the most critical factors contributing to the leader’s success, according to our research. Essentially, this dimension asks: does the team leader demonstrate respect and genuineness, and hold people accountable to a high level of collaboration?
Workplan: 8 Components of a Fall Protection Plan
A well-developed and implemented fall protection plan for working at heights will keep workers safe. Here are eight components of a well-developed fall protection plan.
Tool: Humidex Table
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. High humidity makes people feel hotter than they would on a drier day. This is because the perspiration that cools us down cannot evaporate as quickly in moist, saturated air. To better describe how hot it feels in such circumstances, Canadian meteorologists developed the Humidex, a parameter that combines temperature and humidity in order to reflect the perceived temperature.

Tool: Injury Management – 12 Steps for Developing a Return-to-Work Policy
There are multiple benefits to a RTW program. Getting the employee back to the office or workplace reduces the amount of money being paid out by the carrier, and as a result, your immediate claim costs and future insurance rates also go down. For employees, returning to work improves their physical and psychological well-being, reduces the amount of medication they need, and lowers the risk of addiction to substances such as opioids. In this article, author Amy Siegel Oran, walks through 12 steps for developing a Return-To-Work Policy.

Never assume that “this’ll just take a second” is a safety defense. A second is all it takes to flip the switch and start the machine in motion.
Workplan: Creating Energy Control Procedures
Energy control procedures (ECP) are required for any operations where unexpected energization, start up or release of stored energy could harm workers during the servicing or maintenance of machines and equipment.
