OSHA Requests Information on Possible Updates to the Lockout/Tagout Standard
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has requested information on a possible update to the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)) standard. The agency is interested in comments on the use of control circuit-type devices to isolate energy, as well as the evolving technology for robotics. OSHA wants information on how employers are using control circuit devices, including information about the types of circuitry and safety procedures being used; limitations of their use to determine under what other conditions control circuit-type devices could be used safely; new risks of worker exposure to hazardous energy as a result of increased interaction with robots; and whether the agency should consider changes to the LOTO standard that would address these new risks. The current standard requires that all sources of energy be controlled during servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment using an energy-isolating device. The standard specifies that control circuit devices cannot be used as energy-isolating devices, but the agency recognizes recent technological advances may have improved the safety of control circuit-type devices. Comments can be submitted on or before Aug. 18.

DOT Funding Bill Would Force 30-Minute Break To Remain
In Hours Regs
In what could become a clash between lawmakers in the U.S. House and a Department of Transportation aiming to propose an overhaul to drivers' hours of service regulations, a working version of the annual Transportation Department funding bill released by the House's Appropriations Committee last week would bar the DOT from eliminating the 30-minute break requirement of current hours regs.
The 30-minute break, required within a driver's first eight hours on-duty, is one of the most unpopular provisions among truckers within current hours regs, alongside the 14-hour rule. The DOT has not said whether it intends to alter the 30-minute break, which took effect in 2013, with its looming proposal to overhaul hours of service regulations. Some sources from other Overdrive reporting have, however, speculated the 30-minute break may well be altered or removed altogether, and DOT specifically requested feedback from drivers on the break in its 2018 Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
