JUST IN TIME REPORTS

"Just-in-Time" reports are two-page documents meant to inform work planners and workers about specific safety issues related to work they are about to perform. We have adopted INPO's highly successful format, which first presents brief examples of problems and mistakes encountered in actual cases, and then presents points to consider that should help avoid such pitfalls.

Electrical Safety

• Excavation Incidents - Deficiencies in identification and control of electrical hazards during excavation have resulted in hazardous working conditions.



• Blind Penetration Incidents - Deficiencies in work planning and hazards identification have resulted in electrical near misses when performing blind penetrations and core drilling.



• Energized Electrical Work - Working near energized circuits has resulted in electrical near misses.



• Electrical Demolition Activities - Deficiencies in control and identification of electrical hazards during facility demolition have resulted in hazardous working conditions.



• Electrical Wiring Errors - Electrical wiring mistakes have resulted in electrical shocks and near misses.



• Vehicles and Overhead Lines - Deficiencies in planning and use of spotters contributed to vehicles striking overhead power lines.



• Lockout/Tagout - Work packages that inadequately defined lockout/tagouts have placed workers at risk.
  
  
• Lockout/Tagout - Working without a lockout/tagout when required has placed workers at risk.



• Lockout/Tagout - Improperly applied lockout/tagouts have created hazardous conditions.



• Lockout/Tagout - Improperly removed lockout/tagouts have created hazardous conditions.
