For example, a youth baseball coach cannot just shout at a 10-year-old pitcher from the dugout to “throw strikes.” The child may not know how and will become frustrated. To be effective, the coach must teach...

In the USA, our Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) allows for MINOR tasks that are ROUTINE, REPETITIVE, and INTEGRAL to the operation of the machinery to be done using ALTERNATIVE SAFETY MEASURES in lieu of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO). These “alternative measures” include using a safety control system (e.g., interlock). But one must read into OSHA’s Compliance...

If your company is planning an expansion, retro-fit, grass roots facilities, or simply modifying a process unit, and the process hazard analysis (PHA) indicates you need a safety instrumented system (SIS) as a protective layer, then you need to comply with ANSI/ISA S84.01.

They see this as a low-risk, cost-saving solution, believing any “maintenance mechanic” can put a flange together. Hence, most LOPC events I have had in my time were due to a flange that was NOT assembled per ASME B31.3. This article is for safety professionals seeking...

The vessel’s Post Weld Heat Treatment was not properly conducted, when some parts of it did not reach the required temperature. Coupled with a small hydrogen crack, the failed post weld heat treatment was sufficient to cause catastrophic failure while it was undergoing it hydro test.
