What does EPA's RMP "General Duty Clause" actually require?
Almost weekly I see and hear the RMP “General Duty Clause” (GDC) being misquoted and improperly applied.  In this article I hope to clarify many of the myths and misconceptions of what EPA actually requires in the application of their GDC’s to RMP chemicals.  First and foremost, there is NO GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD when you have a listed PSM or RMP chemical on site, REGARDLESS...

Buyer BEWARE regarding offsite Operator and Maintenance training courses
UPDATED 6/15/11 – A lot of claims are being made by many training organizations that they can solve ALL your PSM/RMP training needs.  Now let me set the record straight, I think a lot of these off-site training courses are a GREAT first pass for operators and maintenance to get the baseline understanding of the process.  HOWEVER… and it is a BIG, however, your training efforts...

Where does safety stop for a safety professional?
Have you ever been told your crazy, paranoid, not living in the real world, etc.?  I don’t mean at work, I mean by family members and neighbors!  I come from a family of safety professionals (my brother, my sister-in law, two of her three sisters, one of her sister’s husbands, and my Dad has always been more proud of his Pulp Wood Association Safety Awards than any others; they...

Does management know the facility's Risk Profile?
In today’s business climate, most businesses have limited resources to fight a lot of different fires, per se.  I often see management teams who have their manufacturing risks defined to how much they spend on post-it pads per month! When asked if they have their hazard risks that fined tuned, I often get the answer “it is what it is”, “we have learned to live with $XXX...

"Switch Loading" Flammable and Combustible Liquids is a Serious Risk that is often unknown or misunderstood
Ever needed to temporarily “change” the use of a flammable/combustible liquid storage or process tank?  The tank is designed to NFPA 30 for flammable and combustible liquids so there is no risk in this “change”?!?!?  WRONG…SWITCH LOADING is a MAJOR RISK that facilities who store, handle, or process flammable liquids need to understand, but often do not. ...

Would your rescue plans pass an OSHA Inspection?
Rescue Plan? You must have lost your mind…there is no such requirement in 1910.146 for each entry to have a “rescue plan.” This is the typical response we get during our audits and 3rd party investigations, and let’s say folks are not happy with the idea that each entry must have a rescue plan. I want to share with you the EXACT QUESTIONS that an OSHA CSHO will be asking should...

Process Safety and Security Guards
Many facilities have contract security at the access points into their facility.  But many facilities also expect their security guards to play a role in a facility emergency and in even rarer cases play a role in the facility’s safe work practices.  Last week I posted the 911 call involving the worker crushed by a forklift to demonstrate how things are NOT suppose to go during an emergency! ...
