And if you were to see co-workers rushing to get a task done,Would you dare to Speak Up before they hurt someone!
You know, when I get frustrated I may forget...

It has come to our attention that some manufacturer(s) have changed the design of their auto purgers by installing a Relief Valve (RV) with the package. The owner’s manual of the component specifically lists the RV as a pre-assembled component and requires the installation of a “vent line” on this RV. This seems to be a considerable change from past designs and needs to...

Then the stammering and lack of direction the facility provided...

Another great video showing the HIGHLY EFFECTIVE use of a plastic tarp over a release point of Anhydrous Ammonia. Something so simple, cheap, and easy to use that can have that kind of impact makes a PLASTIC TARP a MUST HAVE in all NH3 emergency response trailers. Just MAKE SURE the tarp is 100% clean and has NOT been used for any other purpose before it is used in this manner. Compare...
