Checklist for safe troubleshooting when stopped

How to safely handle a line stop before correcting the fault

Follow these steps when the system stops or you need to fix an error. A stoppage costs minutes — an accident costs far more.

§Before you touch anything

  • 01PLACEHOLDER_48
  • 02Assess whether it is an error you are allowed and able to fix yourself
  • 03Call for help if the fault requires a technician

§Secure the machine

  • 01Stop the machine so it cannot start while you are working
  • 02Secure the energy — electricity pressure or motion — according to procedure
  • 03Confirm that the parts are still before you reach in

§After several years of alternating school and practice, the entire education is brought together in one final exam: the journeyman exam. This is where you show that you can plan and perform a lacquering task from start to finish — safely, correctly, and with a result that holds up to critical inspection. The journeyman exam is not a surprise if you have used practical training properly. It is a summary of what you have already learned.

  • 01Remove tools and place shielding in place
  • 02Check that no one is in the danger zone before starting again
  • 03Note the stop and reason so it can be followed up
