Clarification on Work Alone Policy for Shops
• Machine tools may only be operated when a second person is within sight or earshot of the tool user. This is an essential requirement in the case of personnel who get caught in machinery or suffer traumatic injuries. – Second person need not be qualified to operate the
equipment but does need to know how to turn it off and how to call for emergency assistance.
• Second person must agree ahead of time to perform such duties.
• A check-in and check-out protocol must be established
