North Forge:LOTO

We are required to store LOTO (Lock-out/Tag-out) information. This documents how the information is stored on the wiki. See LOTO for the actual information; the aggregate page is useful primarily for the North Forge:MadeSafe audit. No content will live there, it just queries the data in the tool template.

for all

The stuff on this page is not built yet, but I plan to put it together this week, so talk to me ASAP if you don't want it this way. Ttenbergen (talk) 22:31, 2024 October 13 (CDT)

I plan to simply add a field in template:tool to contain this. There is a LOTO page in the safety manual or on the safety drive somewhere, I think. Some info can be taken from there.

Default values

Many tools don't have a LOTO procedure. I discussed with Emelia that we should have a default one to put tools on a loto shelf and, for now, post on broken. For larger tools that have an electric plug I would like to tie a lockout gadget to the cable permanently with a zip tie or velcro pre-installed to tie up the plug. Still honor system, but I think then it becomes a matter of training to tell how thou shall not mess with that. For hard-wired tools we will need something different. Possibly a cap over the switch. With that in place we could set the LOTO for each tool to default to the shelf and just make sure we update the big tools which should only be ~15-20.
