    From my experience, lock out tag out is much less respected in Asia, at least in Taiwan. They want the machine back up as fast as possible

      Various parts of the US too, especially in distribution centers. It got a bit bad out there.

      Luckily in the US serial manipulator safety standards are pretty well regulated - im talking more along the lins of belt sorters.

      Sheesh. After only a few slipups with knives, I take dangerous stuff seriously. I’d be nervous around even unpowered industrial equipment that could kill me! I’ll never understand people who can sherk safety protocols of all things, but then the people pushing the rules seldom care if the unproductive rules like safety are followed… At least when you see news like this.

        It’s crazy to me because LOTO only takes a few minutes in my experience. But anything to save time I guess

          I cannot wait until humanity is rid of capitalist brain… Five minutes of saved time ignoring safety protocol is DEFINITELY worth more than decades of a nerd’s life who’s interested in mechanics/robotics/etc. … freaking insane people, all of them.

        Having been near an industrial robot arm, it does make me nervous even if it’s powered off. It’s a giant hunk of steel that has the strength to probably lift up a car and more, nevermind crush your bones.
