section 217.them that operating

Criminal Code and duties under OHSA

Review past accidents relating to

equipment safeguarding

Current MOL orders, machine hazards

Reliability --Time to Injury, Prevention

IKO MANAGERS ASK

“WHY LOCK OUT”

Result

Hospitalized for 1 week

Rehabilitation for 4-6 months

Severed tendons & nerves

Laceration to bone

Missing nerves & tendons

Loss of sensation

Loss of range or motion

Finger tips permanently bent

*These are only

The physical problems

December 12, 2007 at approximately

5:15 p.m, IKO production supervisor

was electrocuted when he came in

contact with the 4160 volts energized

contactor.

IKO had no lock out system in place

Supervisor was not locked out

MOL ORDERS ISSUED IKO

ORDER requiring IKO to conduct an incident

investigation and prepare a report

ORDER requiring IKO to conduct a hazard

assessment and develop safe work procedures

for work involving the high voltage contactor.

ORDER requiring lock out tag out procedures

for the high voltage contactor

IKO WAS ORDERED TO STOP WORK

IKO CONVICTED UNDER

25 OHSA

2014 IKO contract worker, Graeme

Myers, was lubricating a chain on 2nd

July 2014 when he reached end of the

machine, the pusher block moved

forward striking his arm, resulting in

BILL C-45

CONSEQUENCES OF

IGNORING SAFETY

Page 16

KILL A WORKER GO TO

JAIL

EMPLOYERS LEGAL DUTIES

BILL C45

Bill C-45 added Section 217.1 to the

Criminal Code which reads:

"217.1 Every one who undertakes, or

has the authority, to direct how another

person does work or performs a task is

under a legal duty to take reasonable

steps to prevent bodily harm to that

person, or any other person, arising

from that work or task."17

Bill C-45—cont.

Bill C-45 also added Sections 22.1 and 22.2 to the

Criminal Code imposing criminal liability on

organizations and its representatives for negligence

(22.1) and other offences (22.2).

Section 219(1) of the Criminal Code provides that

“everyone is criminally negligent who (a) in doing

anything, or (b) in omitting to do anything that it is

his duty to do, shows wanton or reckless

disregard for the lives or safety of other

persons.”

18

BILL C-45 -EXAMPLES

R v Scrocca-2010 , the owner of a

Quebec landscape company sentenced

to 12 months in jail , death of worker

R v Vadim Kazenelson- 2016—

construction manager sentenced to 3 ½

years in jail for permitting workers to

board swing stage at the end of the say

without lifeline

19

DUE DILIGENCE

due diligence means that employers

shall take all reasonable precautions,

under the particular circumstances, to

prevent injuries or accidents in the

workplace. ... It refers to the care,

caution, or action a reasonable person

is expected to take under similar

circumstances

20

FAILING TO ACT

NEGLIGENCE

Example of how courts see ignoring safety

hazards ---”In failing to take reasonable

steps CRC/IKO showed a wanton and

reckless disregard for the lives and safety

of the workers, and their failure to act was

a marked and substantial departure from

what a reasonable supervisor would have

done” R v IKO 2014

21

SO WHAT DO?

22

23

Any machine part,

function, or process

which may cause injury

must be safeguarded

Rule to Remember

24

Types of Hazardous

Mechanical Motions

and Actions

Rotating (including in-running nip points)

Reciprocating

Transverse

Cutting

Punching

Pinching

Shearing

Bending

Dangerous moving parts in these basic areas require

safeguarding:

1. Point of operation

2. In running nip points

3. Pinch points

4. Power transmission

5. Other moving parts

Where Dangerous Mechanical Hazards Occur

Safeguarding can be accomplished by either machine guards or

machine devices.

26

Rotating Motion

Common rotating mechanisms Collars

Couplings

Cams

Clutches

Flywheels

Shaft ends

Spindles

Horizontal/vertical shafting

Types of Machine Guards

Guards

Fixed

Interlocked

Adjustable

Self-adjusting

Devices

Photoelectrical Safety tripwire cable

Safety controls Two-hand control

Two-hand trip

Pressure-sensitive body bar

Safety trip rod

Safety tripwire cable

Gates Interlocked

other

27

28

Fixed Guard

Provides a barrier - a permanent part of the

machine, preferable to all other types of guards.

Parts rotating in opposite direction

In-running nip point hazards

Rotating and tangentially

moving parts

Rotating Parts

Point of contact between a

chain and a sprocket

Examples of 3 Types of Motion

Rotating and fixed parts

Transverse motion

Rotating and tangential motion

PINCH POINTS

PINCH POINTS GUARDED

Interlocked Guarding

Mesh Guarding

DIE HOLDING BLOCK

33

34

Two-Hand Control

Requires constant, concurrent pressure to activate the machine

The operator’s hands are required to be at a safe location (on control buttons) and at a safe distance from the danger area while the machine completes its closing cycle

35

Gate

Movable barrier device which protects the operator at the point of operation before the machine cycle can be started

If the gate does not fully close, machine will not function

Gate Open Gate Closed
