E whakamārama ana te OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 i ngā tikanga "tikanga tiaki rerekē" ka taea te whakapai ake i te whai huatanga me te kore e whakararu i te haumaru mahi. Ka kiia hoki tēnei tūāhua he "tūāhua ratonga iti". I hangaia mō ngā mahi mīhini e hiahia ana kia torohia pinepinetia (hei tauira, te whakakore i ngā aukati i runga i ngā whitiki kawe hiko, te whakarerekētanga taputapu iti rānei). Kāore e hiahiatia kia motu katoatia te hiko mō ngā mahi rerekē.
Ko ngā tauira o ngā hangarau tikanga rerekē ko ngā raka e whakahaeretia ana e te kī, ngā pana whakahaere, ngā ārai raka, me ngā taputapu mamao me te momotu. Tērā pea ko te tikanga o tēnei ko te raka i tētahi wāhanga anake o te taputapu, kaua i te mīhini katoa.
Kua whakaae te paerewa ANSI hou "ANSI/ASSE Z244.1 (2016) Control of Hazardous Energy-Locking, Tagging, and Alternative Methods" me te OSHA me tiaki ngā kaimahi mai i te whakahohenga tūpono o ngā taputapu, te turuturu pea rānei o te pūngao morearea. Heoi, kāore te komiti ANSI i ngana ki te whakatutuki katoa i ngā whakaritenga ture OSHA o mua. Engari, ka whakaratohia e te paerewa hou he aratohu whānui atu i ngā here ture a te OSHA mō ngā mahi "mahi auau, mahi auau, me ngā mahi whakaputa he mea tino nui".
E whakamārama ana a ANSI me whakamahi a LOTO mēnā kāore e taea e te kaiwhakamahi te whakaatu ka taea e tētahi tikanga rerekē te whakarato i te tiakitanga whai hua. I ngā āhuatanga kāore i te tino mārama te mahi, kāore hoki i te aromatawaihia te mōrearea, ko te raka te tikanga tiaki taunoa e whakamahia ana hei whakahaere i te mīhini, i te tukanga rānei.
E ai ki te Wāhanga 8.2.1 o ANSI/ASSE Z244.1 (2016) me whakamahi noa i muri i te aromatawai me te tuhi ka iti noa te kino o te hangarau e whakamahia ana mā te whakamahi i ngā rangahau mahi (whakaaturanga rānei) i tētahi atu tikanga. Tērā te mōrearea o te tīmatanga ohorere, te kore rānei o te mōrearea.
I te whai i te tauira whakarōpūtanga mana whakahaere, ka whakaratohia e ANSI/ASSE Z244.1 (2016) he aratohu taipitopito mō te whakamahi i tētahi raupapa o ngā tikanga whakahaere rerekē hei whakarato i te tiakitanga ōrite, pai ake rānei mō ngā kaimahi e mahi ana i ngā mahi motuhake. Hei tāpiri, ka whakamāramahia hoki ngā tikanga whakaiti mōrearea rerekē mō ētahi hangarau hou, tae atu ki ngā ahumahi takai, rongoā, kirihou, tā me te maitai; ngā tono haurua-ira me te karetao; me ētahi atu e werohia ana e ngā here ture o nāianei.
I tēnei wā, me whakanui ko LOTO te mea e whakarato ana i te taumata teitei o te tiakitanga, ā, ki te taea, me whakamahi hei tiaki i ngā kaimahi mai i ngā pūtake pūngao morearea. Arā, ko te raruraru anake ehara i te take e whakaaetia ai te whakamahi i ngā mahi rerekē.
Hei tāpiritanga, e whakamārama mārama ana te CFR 1910.147 me whakarato ngā tikanga kē atu kua whakaaetia i te taumata tiaki ōrite, teitei ake rānei, ki te LOTO. Ki te kore, ka kiia he kore e tutuki i ngā whakaritenga, ā, kāore e ranea hei whakakapi i te LOTO.
Mā te whakamahi i ngā taputapu taumata haumaru paerewa—pērā i ngā tatau raka me ngā pātene aukati ohorere—ka taea e ngā kaiwhakahaere wheketere te uru atu ki ngā mīhini me te haumaru, me te pono hoki, hei whakakapi i ngā tikanga LOTO paerewa me te kore e takahi i ngā whakaritenga a te OSHA. Mā te whakatinana i ngā tikanga rerekē hei whakarite i te tiakitanga ōrite mō ngā mahi motuhake ka taea te whakanui ake i te hua me te kore e whakararu i ngā kaimahi. Heoi, kei raro i ngā tikanga ēnei tikanga me ō rātou painga, ā, me mārama pai ki ngā paerewa OSHA me te ANSI hou.
