An Accident Waiting to Happen: Copyright Material IEEE Paper No. ESW2028-28

摘要

Homemade equipment - to save money Non-performing craft - because management doesn't want to have the hard discussion Unqualified personnel - because we need the bodies on the job A lack of formal procedures - because they take a lot of time and effort to write A deviation from lockout/tagout protocol - because it was quicker Any one of these can be the prelude to a serious electrical incident. Mix them all together and you have a recipe for a catastrophic failure which resulted in a near fatality and a cost to the company of millions of dollars.
