Gufunga tag out - Ubuyobozi bw'imikorere y'umutekano

Iyi nyandiko igamije kugabanya gufungura ku buryo butunguranye kwa valves zikoreshwa n'intoki muri sisitemu zo gukonjesha za amoniya.

Nk’uko bikubiye muri gahunda yo kugenzura ingufu, Ikigo Mpuzamahanga Gishinzwe Gukonjesha Ammonia (IIAR) cyatanze inama zitandukanye zo gukumira gufungura ku buryo butunguranye uburyo bwo gukonjesha bwa ammonia (R717) mu buryo bw’impanuka.

Verisiyo ya mbere y'intego-Amabwiriza yo gutegura gahunda zo kugenzura ingufu z'amashanyarazi ku mavali akoreshwa n'intoki muri sisitemu zo gukonjesha za ammonia-Abanyamuryango ba IIAR bashobora kuyigura ku madolari 150, naho abatari abanyamuryango bakayigura ku madolari 300.

Uburyo bwo kugenzura imashini zikoresha intoki ni ubwo kugenzura ingufu ziteje akaga, ubusanzwe bwitwa uburyo bwo gufunga/gufunga (LOTO). Nk’uko urubuga rwa interineti rwa Kaminuza ya Iowa rubivuga, ibi bishobora kurinda abakozi gukomereka cyangwa kwicwa no gukora ku buryo butunguranye cyangwa kurekura ingufu zabitswe mu gihe cyo kubungabunga no gusana imashini, imikorere, na sisitemu.

Ingufu zishobora guterwa n’impanuka zishobora kuba iz’amashanyarazi, iz’amazi, iz’umwuka, iz’imashini, iz’ibinyabutabire, iz’ubushyuhe, cyangwa izindi. Urubuga rwa interineti rwa Kaminuza ya Iowa rwongeraho ruti: “Gukurikiza imyitozo n’amabwiriza ya LOTO bishobora kurinda abakozi gusohora ingufu mbi.”

Kuva Ikigo gishinzwe ubuzima n'umutekano mu kazi cya Amerika (OSHA) cyashyiraho itegeko ryo kugenzura ingufu zibangamira ubuzima (gufunga/gushyira ku rutonde) mu 1989, inganda nyinshi zashyize mu bikorwa gahunda zo kugenzura ingufu za LOTO. Ariko izi akenshi ziba zibanda ku ngufu zibangamira amashanyarazi n'imashini; nk'uko IIAR ibivuga, inganda za HVAC & R ntizisobanukiwe neza uburyo valve zifunguka mu buryo bw'impanuka, ibi bikaba ari byo bituma habaho amazi menshi ya ammonia.

Ubuyobozi bushya bugamije "kuziba icyuho mu nganda" no guha ba nyiri n'abakoresha valve za R717 zikoreshwa n'intoki inama nziza z'uburyo bwo gushyira mu bikorwa gahunda zo kugenzura ingufu.
