The website “SAFTENG.net” was described as a valuable asset recently by Trish Kerin, Director of the IChemE Safety Centre in Process Safety Progress. “SAFTENG” is an exchange of vital safety materials. I recently started exploring this site and was very impressed. There are some donated PowerPoint lectures, which appeared professionally prepared and ready to use on various safety topics (as lock or tag out, flammable liquids, personal protective equipment, etc.) There are prepared safety talks ready for presentations on other topics. There is an impressive wealth of photos including informative, shocking, factual, gruesome, and humorous for you to build your own presentations. The site goes well beyond chemical process safety as it has industrial safety, home safety, driver safety, emergency response, RMP, and related topics. The site also offers a “video of the week” a “photo of the week,” incident alerts, and a number of safety-related images. Materials are limited for nonmembers. Membership is required to fully participate in the sharing of excellent safety information. There can be modest membership fees.
