Hi Bryan,
Here is a classic example of not having zero energy. This guy was going to clean a screen on a line that normally runs around 80 degrees. The screen is on the suction of a centrifugal pump. The screen plugged up, causing the pump to cavitate and heat up tremendously. He shut off the pump (which allowed the discharge line to back feed into the pump), closed the suction valve...

In a safety management system, there is a constant battle to find the optimum balance between procedures and common sense. On the one hand, both our educational systems and legal systems support a culture of procedures. The educational system encourages written material to be studied and examinations to be written...

An ASME B31.3 welding quality assurance (QA) program must cover the full lifecycle of a weldment, from procedure qualification to final testing, to ensure structural integrity. It serves as a mandatory framework for contractors to demonstrate that their processes and personnel consistently meet the minimum safety requirements for process piping.
The QA program must include the following:...

With all the changes to Ammonia Refrigeration RAGAGEPs, many businesses forget that the IFC and their state fire code no longer cover refrigeration; they gave all that to IIAR. But since the IFC no longer covers refrigeration, how does NH3 get covered under the IFC? Is it flammable, toxic, or corrosive?

In ASME B31.3, the number of welds that require visual inspection depends entirely on the Fluid Service Category designated for the piping system. Because visual inspection is the primary quality control method, the requirements are strict.
For the vast majority of process piping (Normal Fluid Service), 100% of the completed welds must be visually inspected.

EXCELLENT Fall Protection video to incorporate into our training programs. The video does an great job of showing the forces involved in a fall and how the deceleration devices work! It also shows the forces applied to a guardrail when worker tie off to one (keeping in mind that a guardrail is only designed for a force of 200 pounds!).
