ZERO energy state (ZES) means ZERO energy state (NBIC Accident)
We have all heard stories about “pressure” killing workers.  One of my favorite trick questions to ask a group attending my LOTO training is, “Just how much pressure does it take to kill a human?”  The incident below occurred at a power generation station and involved 40 psi, but PLEASE remember that much less energy can result in similar outcomes.  This incident...

Anhydrous Ammonia is a FLAMMABLE GAS
For the doubting Thomas (no offense to actual people named Thomas), here is a bit of info to BELIEVE… I can not believe I have to say this in the Year 2026, but: Anhydrous Ammonia is a FLAMMABLE GAS Look it up on any reputable SDS. Yes, it is shipped as a non-flammable gas, but that is ONLY because of how DOT defines a flammable gas. At a facility, it MUST be respected as a CAT 2 FLAMMABLE...
