911 Call - 28-year old killed by forklift
This taped 911 call is being provided for others to learn from.  Many of us think that dialing 911 and effectively communicating with the emergency dispatcher needs no training.  This call may convience us that we need to train those who would be tasked with this critical link to the emergency responders.  Imagine that it is your loved one lying and waiting for help to arrive and this...

Understanding OSHA's Flammable Liquid Std Ventilation Requirements
On average, we conduct around a dozen flammable liquid safety audits each year and I can not think of an audit where we were not asked about the ventilation requirements in 1910.106(e)(3)(v)(a) and/or NFPA 30, 17.11.1-10.  Both of these standards require an area where a Class I Flammable Liquid is being transferred or dispensed be ventilated at a rate of not less than 1 cubic foot per...

NFPA 30 offers some GREAT facility siting for NEW process vessels
Anyone involved with PSM/RMP knows about “facility siting” and all the attention it has gotten since the Texas City, TX incident in 2005.  Many companies struggle with this type of analysis, so I am passing along some great data that could be used during an expansion project at an existing facility or for a new facility.  PLEASE note that even if your process does NOT fall under...

What is the REAL PURPOSE of flammable storage cabinets?
Ordinary glass containers exposed to heat will fail at about 212F (100C) due to thermally induced stress. Storage cabinets are designed to offer protection from radiant heat, but only for a limited time of intense fire exposure. The user MUST recognize these limitations. … HomeRead More »

Process Hazards Analysis and “Safeguards”
Over the past several years I have written many articles on the “safeguards” that get listed in Process Hazards Analysis.  In this article I want to focus our attention on the flaws that so many facilities are making in their PHAs.  Some facilities are really doing themselves an injustice by listing safeguards that have little to no impact on PREVENTING, PROTECTING or MITIGATING the consequences...
