An incident in Casting where a maintainer using an impact gun picked up the gun by the socket and in the process activated the gun with his other hand. Although a personal pre-start was done the maintainer did not pick up that some one had placed a piece of welding wire through the socket to keep it on the gun instead of the retaining clip.

I am sure many of you have heard the old saying… “it’s just common sense” when it comes to applying PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, often called “thread sealants” or “plumber’s tape”. Yet this practice is a critical skill for ensuring leak-free connections in threaded piping systems. While it seems straightforward, the direction and tension...

A friend has shared some info regarding a new fixed foam system for tank fire! The video is amazing to watch, especially if you have spent anytime on a hose line at a large diamater tank fire! This company is apparently very new and is focusing their efforts in Europe for now, but man is this ever needed here in the USA. I have no idea as to cost, but you can learn more about them...

At the heart of any relief system design basis are the “scenarios” chosen to base the sizing of the relief system. The two most common scenarios used are the “fire scenario” and the “blocked-in scenario”. It is the fire scenario I wish to review in this article and what has to go along with this scenario.

This month marks the 20th anniversary of OSHA’s Process Safety Management standard, which is built upon Recognized and Generally Accepted Engineering Practices (RAGAGEP). There was no way OSHA could write a “specific” standard to cover all the types of processes handling the list of Highly Hazardous Chemicals (HHC) so they instead wrote what is called a “performance oriented standard” that is...

This was a utility coal fired boiler at 11:30 am but at 12:15 pm it was basically scrap metal. The plant had just finished an outage and was in the process of placing the boiler back online. The furnace was started on natural gas and once it had reached a certain point it would switch over to coal. The unit was being filled after the outage and the manual gas valves had been turned on. When the boiler...
