Welding on "containers" and OSHA's use of the word ABSOLUTELY
With last weeks tragic accident in my old stomping grounds of DeRidder, LA I am reminded of OSHA’s laguage in 1910.252.  I know of no other standard that has such “matter of fact” style language.  In the standard, OSHA uses the phrase “absolutely certain” in regards to ensuring the “container” is gas/vapor free. In fact the standard goes as far as...

2017 Video of the Week #6 (Ammonia Burning!)
This week’s video shows what appears to be an attempted  “hot tap” procedure on an anhydrous ammonia piping.  Watch closely as the escaping ammonia gas (VD<1) gets trapped under the roof and ignites from the welding sparks.  The other concern is that if NH3 was present in a flammable concentration, the workers should have been in a higher level of respiratory...
