Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 441

11 December 2014

Mechanical Hazard LOTO

Please see enclosed a bulletin regarding a finger amputation that was shared with us by Gilbarco.

This is a graphical reminder that LOTO (Lock-Out Tag-Out) is not just carried out for electrical hazards –
mechanical hazards should be locked off & tagged too.

When you are removing any cover that encloses mechanical moving parts (such as pump covers or
some price change systems), always isolate the circuit first.

See our video at http://xmostrata.com/about-us/video-vault/ for advice on how to suitably lock out.

We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything we do has
been learned throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and charts, some through visual
presentations, and some by reading detailed text books. It is important that we receive information in a format that works for
us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo Strata we use a variety of communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters,
videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for us to share health and safety information, please let us know.
Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we will do all we can to keep you well informed!
