A simple lock-out
block-out device could have saved the lives of two men who were
cleaning a tire manufacturing machine at the Bridgestone Tire &
Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio. The lock-out is placed on the On/Off
switch to prevent anyone from accidentally starting the machine.
The block-out device is like a steel bar wedged in the gears that
prevents the machine from moving. Apparently the men used neither
device and were unaware of the hazard. The director of OSHA personally
delivered a $7.4 million penalty against Bridgestone. A mere $139
investment in SafetyPlanBuilder and a few hours work might have
prevented this tragic accident and saved Bridgestone millions.
Be compliant
with OSHA and all 50 states.
It's a tangled
mess of complicated laws, but SafetyPlanBuilder sorts it all out
for you. When laws differ, SafetyPlanBuilder takes the highest legal
standard and builds it into your plan-to offer you and your employees
maximum protection. The result? A comprehensive, industry-and state-specific
safety plan that complies with all applicable OSHA and state laws.
The customized safety manual you create can also form a tool for
self-auditing your facility -- identifying each safety hazard and
potential safety problem in your work environment. Once identified,
the manual provides clear and concise language for dealing with
the problem. Just having a written safety plan usually reduces the
fines to one-tenth of the average.
"Well done!
. . . I would emphasize the speed and
anyone-can-do-it nature of the program. I think it's a great
product and I think it is a great step forward in our
ability
to provide safe and healthful places of employment."

you're safe if your business is office-based rather than industrial.
You're still required to comply with OSHA, and you're still vulnerable
