This is the terrifying moment when a teenager narrowly escaped death in an avoidable industrial accident. A Trainee electrician, 17, was seriously injured when a fork-lift truck carrying aloft the ‘man cage’ he was working in toppled over in a city warehouse. He suffered a double fracture of the pelvis, facial stitches, a broken front tooth and a lacerated elbow after plummeting 20 feet...

Most of the incidents occurred during operations performed by workers. In addition, more than 70% of the flammable...

The CFATS Personnel Surety Program will provide high-risk chemical facilities with the mechanism to implement security measures to ensure that certain individuals are subject to screening for ties to terrorism.

These days it is becoming common practice to utilize truck driver(s) of our hazardous material(s) deliveries to do more than just deliver the material. The line of thought in doing this, is that the drivers must be “qualified” or they would not be allowed to transport the hazardous materials. Well, they may be qualified to transport the hazardous materials, but the LOADING and...

Nowadays, we see a lot of Confined Space (CS) incidents caused by the work that is taking place inside the space rather than the actual process hazards that made the Confined Space a Permit-Required Confined Space (PRCS). I had an incident when I was an S&H Manager in the process chemical industry that was one nobody thought of until it was too late. I want to share this incident with you and demonstrate...

Crane lifts very heavy pool (home renovation took a turn for the worse when the crane lifting it into the yard crashed through the roof – the fibreglass pool/hot tub combination was apparently too heavy for the crane – it popped into the air at a 45-degree angle, and the crane’s arm fell over onto the garage – no one was injured, and the homeowner — who has declined to comment to...
