A Message to my friends and co-workers about Fatigue, Rushing, Frustration, Complacency!
You matter to me my friend and I hope I matter to you If either of us gets injured we’ll both be feeling blue. Sometimes workers are tired as they perform their daily task,If you saw them cut corners, you’d speak up, right? Sorry, I had to ask. 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...

NH3 Refrigeration Auto Purger Design Change
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...

How NOT to handle an emergency (NOX release over major highway) Video
The company in this incident is WORLD-CLASS, but even that does not exempt them from a proper and TIMELY RESPONSE.  This is a “lesson to be learned” event!  The company is still dealing with the fallout 3 years later.  You do not want to be in their shoes!!!  When the 911 Dispatch is calling you – it is not a good sign.  Then the stammering and lack of direction the facility provided...

NH3 Suppression Tarp - HIGHLY EFFECTIVE (video)
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...
