This summer we saw a 300,000-gallon water tank fail which pushed a generator into a covered process which led to a release of the HHC/EHS. The questions I wish to pose are:
Should the water tank have fallen under the PSM/RMP program due to its proximity to the covered process?
Should the proximity of the water tank be part of the facility siting assessment in the PHA?

During my 24-hr Tech course last week we had an interesting discussion about “the line” between an operator taking “emergency actions” and an operator being an “emergency responder”.

This is not the first time I have written about “limitations” of our emergency response equipment, but this is one I just learned first hand.

This is a MUST SEE for all personnel involved with ENTRY into Permit Required Confined Spaces. The leading killer in these spaces is Oxygen Deficiency and this weeks video shows us exactly why it is the leading killer! We can’t see it, smell it, or feel it and when we get to a point of our demise, we actually enter a period of euphoria, which our brain is INCAPABLE of recogn...

According to information provided by Respondent, three of the tanks stored natural gas condensate and one stored water/brine. Natural gas condensate is a flammable mixture (CAS No. 00-11-11). According to information obtained from Respondent,...

A wholly just culture is almost certainly an unattainable ideal. However, an organization in which most of its members believe that justice will usually be dispensed is within the bounds of possibility. Two (2) things are clear at the outset.
First, it would be quite unacceptable to punish all errors and unsafe acts regardless of their origins and circumstances.
