Many THANKS to my NEW Members and those who CONTINUE to support SAFTENG:
Several times year we upset a client who has hired us to do a “wall-to-wall” compliance audit with their PSM/RMP programs. These audits are our most intense audits in which we leave no rock unturned. One of the items we audit in this level of auditing is the RMP submittal and all of the supporting documentation for the Off-Site Consequence analyzes. This comes as a not so happy movement...

On a daily basis we respond to a variety of emergencies, most of which have become fairly routine. Of course, reaching that level of competence takes a lot of training, exercises and actual events. We have to constantly guard against complacency to ensure safe and effective operations. However, the extraordinary events — such as tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes and conflagrations — can overwhelm...

Over the last several years the SAFTENG team has been seeing some interesting concepts when it comes to Lockout/Tagout applications and methods. I want to air these out and get some dialogue started so that everyone can understand the errors of these myths…

Not Walking the Talk
Actions really do speak louder than words when it comes to safety. All the slogans, posters and tool box talks in the world won’t make a difference if we act in a different way to what we say. By always being a model of safe work and rule compliance, we can have more of an influence on our team and others we interact with than we ever could through “safety moments”...

Stick to our values. Companies that perform well on safety measures are more likely to be high performers in other areas too. This suggests that having an overall operational strategy for high performance can extend to safety issues, and possibly too that safety performance has a positive impact on general operational performance. Knowing that this link exists then raises the pivotal question,...

Why do I need to wear personal protective clothing and equipment?
Let’s give it some thought.
The human body is amazing. We have a head and brains for thinking, ears for hearing, eyes for seeing; a nose for detecting odours; a mouth for talking and eating; lungs for breathing; arms, elbows, knees and legs for lifting and bending; hands and fingers for dressing and feeding ourselves and for writing;...

Eye exercises can restore your sight.
Our eyes are the window to the world. It’s important that we take care of them.
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Carrots, loaded with beta carotene are especially helpful in maintaining healthy eyes.
That’s because beta carotene is an antioxidant that reduces...

Our appreciation of risks sometimes is subjective based on our perception of risk. We sometimes associate risk only with complicated tasks or tasks that have significant hazards. This usually causes us to assume a false sense of security and do not take adequate or any precautions to ensure our safety. The fact of the matter; however, is that all tasks have risks based on some hazard...

A near miss in the workplace is a warning or an indication that something is wrong. Perhaps a machine isn’t operating correctly, or materials aren’t stacked properly, or someone has acted in an unsafe way. Close calls or near misses on the job should also be converted into safety precautions. Let’s consider some typical accidents that could have been avoided if the...

Why consider falls from heights?
Falls from height are responsible for many serious and fatal injuries every year. If a person falls from a height above two metres the likelihood is that they will sustain serious injury. In the 2009 3rd quarter Quarterly Report, the International Aluminium Institute reported that an employee of a particularly refinery died after falling from a height of 2 metres....

In our busy lives, we are often faced with time-management choices. When given the chance, we must always choose safety over time savings, because rushing causes us to lose focus, skip steps and make bad decisions. In fact, the time we spend staying safe is time well spent. In this publication we will learn the very real hazards associated with rushing and being in a hurry.Through...
