Chapter 1: The Morning Briefing
7:30 AM - Industrial Manufacturing Plant
Sarah (You)
Maintenance Technician
"Good morning, team! Today we have scheduled maintenance on the conveyor system in Building C. As always, safety is our top priority."
⚠️ Today's Safety Alert
The conveyor system operates on multiple energy sources: electrical (480V), pneumatic, and hydraulic. Proper lockout/tagout procedures are essential.
🎧 Morning Safety Briefing
Chapter 2: Equipment Assessment
8:15 AM - Building C Manufacturing Floor
Step 1: Identify Energy Sources
Sarah approaches the conveyor system and begins her systematic assessment.
Step 2: Notify Personnel
Before beginning work, Sarah must communicate with affected workers.
Step 3: Authorization
Sarah obtains proper work authorization and reviews the lockout procedure.
Chapter 3: The Critical Decision
8:45 AM - Equipment Shutdown Phase
Sarah's Dilemma
Critical Decision Point
"I've shut down the equipment using normal controls, but I notice the hydraulic pressure gauge still shows 500 PSI. My supervisor is pressuring me to start quickly because production is behind schedule. What should I do?"
Choose Sarah's Next Action:
Proceed with Caution
"Start working on the equipment anyway. The pressure is lower now, and we're behind schedule."
⚡ High Risk Choice
Follow LOTO Procedures
"Wait for complete pressure relief and follow proper lockout/tagout procedures before starting work."
