Popular Post Further Posted January 20, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 20, 2019 Yesterday at work I was called upon to help repair a crane. That's my job so off I went. The hoist rope had jumped off the sheaves (pulleys) and jammed tight. It happened on afternoon shift. They determined that there was a problem and wrote a description for midnight shift. Midnight shift brought in a mobile crane to support the hook block, cut all the ropes and cleared the immediate danger. Daylight shift (me) freed the jammed piece of rope, removed a damaged sheave,replaced the bushing, and reinstalled the sheave. Afternoon shift determined that a section of handrail was missing and should be replaced before working on the crane. They advised midnight shift of this. Midnight shift had a higher priority break down and didn't work on the crane. Daylight shift replaced the rope. They were not able to return the crane to service because the afternoon shift lead has the key to the lockout box. My guess is that afternoon shift will get kudos for evaluating the task and safely avoiding doing anything. Daylight shift may be in trouble for fixing the crane rather than the hand rail.

2Far ★ Posted January 20, 2019 Share #5 Posted January 20, 2019 Who's ever in charges of the LOTO for afternoon shift should be terminated for leaving their lock on. That won't happen, but that is a fairly severe violation of standard LOTO rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Company lock left on the box, the key is passed from shift to shift, individuals place and remove their personal locks as they come and go. The key for the company lock is missing.

Supervisor has to try to contact afternoon shift lead at home before cutting off the lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the procedure is, at least, adequate. Shouldn't the key be kept on a peg board or something and not in someone's pocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
