Lyndsey identified an opportunity to improve maintenance technicians’ consistent application of lockout/tagout protocols – clearing product jams on conveyors. She established a team of subject matter experts and led it in creating a visual standard operating procedure to safely clear product jams. To increase access and use of the VSOP, Lyndsey converted the document into a QR code and required all sites to post the code at the most common jam points. Now, more than 17,000 technicians have access to this resource before performing high-risk jam-clearing tasks.
