You dont red tag the machine, you red tag the construction, if it does not meet code. If they get enough red tags they will modiy the construction program.

Mark H is right. You deal with what is constructed and not with how it was constructed.

There is also a matter of jurisdiction. If we are dealing with manufactured components then the local jurisdiction deals with enforcement but in California if we are dealing with manufactured housing then a state agency deals with plan checking and enforcement with respect to the work done in the factory including required inspections. The local jurisdiction then has enforcement responsibility for work done on site. I believe that this is in response to some federal legislation so I would expect to see something similar in other states.

Then I unplug the machine.

What is your liability for touching someone else's machine?
It will not restart; You broke it?

I issued the order and then work continued in violation of the order. I took what actions were necessary to safeguard the lives of the public.

From a site safety standpoint, would it really be acceptable to have a completely autonomous machine with no oversight on site? I can't imagine the public and ultimately government officials signing off on that.

They allow inspectors onsite

 

[mark handler]

Site safety is not my inspectors responsibility, CalOSHA, oversees Site Safety

 

[tmurray]

Is OSHA responsible for both workers and the general public?

In Canada our legislation says that every person has a moral and legal responsibility when it comes to workplace safety. Workplace health and safety regimes only regulate worker safety here. Protection of the public from the construction site is written into the building code.
