Maybe there was an injury, and you added a guard, but the guard made it difficult or impossible to unjam the equipment or operate the machine. Finding safeguards for a specific task is challenging because a physical guard may not be feasible. A feasibility assessment usually takes less than an hour.

In recent months, we at FDRsafety have been surprised at the number of cases involving injuries resulting from falling objects. However, the ability for any management to foresee the thousands of maintenance tasks where a skilled worker must deal with gravity is not practicable nor feasible. What can we do?

For those of you who deal with PSM, you know this is a critical first step in determining if a traditional risk-based approach will suffice from a compliance perspective. When deciding that risk mitigation is needed, the concept of feasibility comes into play to demonstrate due diligence in complying with the OSH Act.

However, I’m puzzled why companies don’t adequately deal with these issues before the problems occur. What’s often missed and not understood is the in-between, where tasks are not minor servicing but LOTO is not feasible. In situations where LOTO is not feasible, an ALTERNATIVE METHOD is needed.

Those same innovations are often not feasible for retrofit – that’s the reason for my passion around the concepts of “Design-in Safety” and “Prevention thru Design” (PtD). Feasibility of engineering safeguards is always a key consideration. I agree – partially. Back to lathes.

Recent cases (both OSHA and personal injury) suggest that industry’s quest to mandate employee performance may ignore the real world where workers encounter variables, and strict interpretation of the policy would literally prevent the work from being done. Enforcing machine lockout when lockout is not feasible. Let’s explore #5.
