Description of assignment
At Vanderlande, our on-site service engineers are dedicated to ensuring that the material handling systems we provide continue to operate smoothly and safely. As part of this, safety protocols like Lock-Out Tag-Out (LOTO) are essential to protect our engineers from the risks associated with electricity and moving machinery. However, our current process for creating LOTO instructions is not standardized, leaving room for improvement.
You’ll have the opportunity to work on optimizing the process of creating detailed, clear, and standardized LOTO instructions for our conveyor systems. These systems—approximately 4,000 conveyors in total—require specific, well-documented safety procedures to ensure that every technician on site can work safely and effectively.
