*These are only
The physical problems
December 12, 2007 at approximately
5:15 p.m, IKO production supervisor
was electrocuted when he came in
contact with the 4160 volts energized
contactor.
IKO had no lock out system in place
Supervisor was not locked out

MOL ORDERS ISSUED IKO
ORDER requiring IKO to conduct an incident
investigation and prepare a report
ORDER requiring IKO to conduct a hazard
assessment and develop safe work procedures
for work involving the high voltage contactor.
ORDER requiring lock out tag out procedures
for the high voltage contactor
IKO WAS ORDERED TO STOP WORK

IKO CONVICTED UNDER
25 OHSA
2014 IKO contract worker, Graeme
Myers, was lubricating a chain on 2nd
July 2014 when he reached end of the
machine, the pusher block moved

BILL C-45
CONSEQUENCES OF
IGNORING SAFETY
Page 16
KILL A WORKER GO TO
JAIL
EMPLOYERS LEGAL DUTIES
BILL C45
Bill C-45 added Section 217.1 to the
Criminal Code which reads:
"217.1 Every one who undertakes, or
has the authority, to direct how another
person does work or performs a task is
under a legal duty to take reasonable
steps to prevent bodily harm to that
person, or any other person, arising
from that work or task."17
Bill C-45—cont.
Bill C-45 also added Sections 22.1 and 22.2 to the
Criminal Code imposing criminal liability on
organizations and its representatives for negligence
(22.1) and other offences (22.2).
Section 219(1) of the Criminal Code provides that
“everyone is criminally negligent who (a) in doing
anything, or (b) in omitting to do anything that it is
his duty to do, shows wanton or reckless
disregard for the lives or safety of other
persons.”
18
BILL C-45 -EXAMPLES
R v Scrocca-2010 , the owner of a
Quebec landscape company sentenced
to 12 months in jail , death of worker
R v Vadim Kazenelson- 2016—
construction manager sentenced to 3 ½
years in jail for permitting workers to
board swing stage at the end of the say
without lifeline
19
DUE DILIGENCE
due diligence means that employers
shall take all reasonable precautions,
under the particular circumstances, to
prevent injuries or accidents in the
workplace. ... It refers to the care,
caution, or action a reasonable person
is expected to take under similar
circumstances
20
FAILING TO ACT
NEGLIGENCE
Example of how courts see ignoring safety
hazards ---”In failing to take reasonable
steps CRC/IKO showed a wanton and
reckless disregard for the lives and safety
of the workers, and their failure to act was
a marked and substantial departure from
what a reasonable supervisor would have
done” R v IKO 2014
21
SO WHAT DO?
22
23
Any machine part,
function, or process
which may cause injury
must be safeguarded
Rule to Remember
24
Types of Hazardous
Mechanical Motions
and Actions
Rotating (including in-running nip points)
Reciprocating
Transverse
Cutting
Punching
Pinching
Shearing
Bending
Dangerous moving parts in these basic areas require
safeguarding:
1. Point of operation
2. In running nip points
3. Pinch points
4. Power transmission
5. Other moving parts
Where Dangerous Mechanical Hazards Occur
Safeguarding can be accomplished by either machine guards or
machine devices.
26
Rotating Motion
Common rotating mechanisms Collars
Couplings
Cams
Clutches
Flywheels
Shaft ends
Spindles
Horizontal/vertical shafting
Types of Machine Guards
Guards
Fixed
Interlocked
Adjustable
Self-adjusting
Devices
Photoelectrical Safety tripwire cable
Safety controls Two-hand control
Two-hand trip
Pressure-sensitive body bar
Safety trip rod
Safety tripwire cable
Gates Interlocked
other
27
28
Fixed Guard
Provides a barrier - a permanent part of the
machine, preferable to all other types of guards.
Parts rotating in opposite direction
In-running nip point hazards
Rotating and tangentially
moving parts
Rotating Parts
Point of contact between a
chain and a sprocket
Examples of 3 Types of Motion
Rotating and fixed parts
Transverse motion
Rotating and tangential motion
PINCH POINTS
PINCH POINTS GUARDED
Interlocked Guarding
Mesh Guarding
DIE HOLDING BLOCK
33
34
Two-Hand Control
Requires constant, concurrent pressure to activate the machine
The operator’s hands are required to be at a safe location (on control buttons) and at a safe distance from the danger area while the machine completes its closing cycle
35
Gate
Movable barrier device which protects the operator at the point of operation before the machine cycle can be started
If the gate does not fully close, machine will not function
Gate Open Gate Closed
