A December 2015 video at Russian oil and gas field in Siberia recently came to light and although it is tough to watch two workers perish, it is a video that needs to be shared to show the hazards of Hot Work on flammable liquid containers.

Recently I had the pleasure of working with a team of engineers and EHS professionals on a PHA project for an Anhydrous Ammonia process.

NOTE: a reduction in penalty can come about many different ways, so a reduction in penalty does not imply that the hazardous condition did not exist at the time of the inspection. Many reductions in penalties occur due to negotiations requiring abatement of the hazard and extra’s like training supervisors in OSHA 10-hr course.

Typically these courses are taught for a facility/business and the topics can be revised based on the facility’s need(s). This is NOT an OSHA 10-hour or 30-hour course and I do NOT issue certificates for these courses, but I will put this week of training...

In the world of Process Safety Management and processes containing flammable liquids and gases, the management of hazardous locations (HAZLOC) can be very difficult to manage; especially when a facility decides that some of their “Nonincendive” devices are acceptable. The use of “Nonincendive Equipment” is one (1) of the twelve (12) acceptable “protection...
