These are: Space preparation (cleaning and isolation), Atmospheric Testing/Monitoring, and Permitting In this article, I want to highlight these three areas and highlight some small but critical details that can make a HUGE difference in worker safety.

Can your local Fire Department meet your needs?
In this economy, we should take 10 minutes and call our local Fire Department (FD) and discuss any changes that have been made that could impact our business.  FACT:  All fire departments have been forced to make cuts in recent years; some more than others, but all have had to cut their budgets.  The first cuts come to specialized programs, such as HAZMAT teams, Special Rescue teams,...

Who calls 911?
This week I had the pleasure of conducting an Incident Command course and in my 1-Day IC Basics course I like to challenge the students to put themselves into scenarios and to think through what needs to be done, who will be doing it, if they have been trained, if they have adequate back-up’s, etc.  One question that always comes up in this training course is “who actually calls 911?”...

PSM/RMP "co-location" or "proximity" when determing PSM/RMP Applicability
UPDATED on 5/31/11 to answer some specific questions I received over the holiday weekend…Scenario:  A process that is covered under PSM/RMP (a toxic liquefied gas under pressure) is in very close proximity to a propane system that is used solely as an on-site fuel. The propane system had always been exempted using the PSM exemption of materials used solely as a fuel and the Fuels Regulatory...

One of the most common errors we find when asked to audit an RMP is the Tornado Hazard (Section 7.4.d).  With all the recent storms the last three months I bet I have gotten 50 calls and 100 e-mails asking about severe weather scenarios for facilities.  In this post, I want to walk us through a risk analysis involving a severe weather event and things your management team may want to consider...
