With the recent Hot Work fire in KS at a beef processing plant, I was looking for my posting regarding the 2011 NFPA Loss Report(s) for refrigeration facilities and realized it had not made the move over to the new website. So here it is again. Some really good loss data in here(albeit it is now 8 years old) to share with Management so they can see the impact poor safety performance...

One of, if not the most critical, aspect of flammable liquids/gases piping is the bonding and grounding of the piping. And unfortunately, this “safety system” is often neglected and not managed as a PREVENTION LAYER of protection. It’s not like we don’t have good guidance in this need; NFPA 77: Recommended Practice on Static Electricity is one of the best written and organized...

It has been a while since we have mentioned/discussed the refrigerant HFO-1234yf – which has taken the car manufacturer’s on a ride down the PSM lane of H_LL! I have had several discussions with these businesses and for the life of me, I am puzzled as to where this idea that NFPA 55: Compressed Gases and Cryogenic Fluids Code is the most fitting RAGAGEP to uses as the baseline RAGAGEP...
