Human Factors 101
Human Factors 101 - #1001
I am not sure why I am so fascinated with the Human Factors aspect of process safety, but I blame my pals Bob and Steve at Unwin Company for beating it into my head during the first PHA I did with them way back in 1999.  They ripped me apart with how our procedures were written and taught me so much (still do today) about human factors in process safety (20 years and still learning!).  But...

Hazardous Materials and Chicago Coupling(s)
Most anyone who has spent a day inside an industrial facility has seen a “Chicago Coupling” or as some may call it, a “crows-foot”, although they may have never heard the phrase that describes this device… Photo Source: chicagocoupling.com Having been raised as a safety engineer in the petrochem industry I learned early on that this was a [low-pressure] “water hose”...

LEL meter reading
Direct-Reading Instruments
Found this one and thought it may be helpful for those who need to train some supervisors on the use of their “meters”, “sniffers”, etc.  This is a great “introduction” presentation that covers the methods and limitations of these types of instruments. … HomeRead More »

Intro Toxicology
Introduction to Toxicology
Found another ppt from years back.  This was one from my time with BFGoodrich Speciality Chemicals.  The Corporate Safety Manager was one of the most down-to-earth CIHs I have ever worked with.  Unfortunately she has now retired, but she was an absolute treasure of information and her super power was making difficult and complex matters related to chemical exposures very simple and rational. ...

Chemistry of HAZMATs
Chemistry of Hazardous Materials Pre-course Reading
I found this NFA pre-course reading material from way back when I started my business and had a contract with a national organization for HAZMAT Specialist.  As many of you know I have been in the ER field since the late 1980’s and then spent 16 years in petrochemical and semi-conductor industries as a safety engineer/manager before starting my consulting business.  As part of...

NH3 external pipe corrosion from condenser water4
Piping Corrosion (External - Outside/In)
This is WATER damage!  It is on an NH3 process, but this was found to be external damage from treated water with an incorrect water treatment “recepie”.  The condenser was not being maintained properly either and the two failures produced this corrosion and a tad bit of erossion as the water was dripping down from about 15′ above.  The system was shutdown and the piping...
