  • Permits-To-Work in the Process Industries
    SYMPOSIUM SERIES NO. 151 # 2006 IChemE PERMITS-TO-WORK IN THE PROCESS INDUSTRIES John Gould Environmental Resources Management, Suite 8.01, 8 Exchange Quay, Manchester M5 3EJ; [email protected] The paper presents the collective results from a number of Safety Management System audits. The audit protocol is based on the Health and Safety Executive pub- lication ‘Successful health and safety management’ and takes into account formal (written) and informal procedures as well as their implementation. Focused on permit-to-work systems, these have shown a number of common failings. The most common failure in implementing a permit-to-work system is the issue of too many permits. However, the audit protocol considers the whole risk control system. The failure to ‘close’ the management loop with an effective regular review process is the largest obstacle to an effective permit system. INTRODUCTION ‘Permits save lives – give them proper attention’. This is a startling statement made by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in its free leaflet IND(G) 98 (Rev 3) PTW systems. The leaflet goes on to state that two thirds of all accidents in the chemical industry are main- tenance related, with the permit-to-work (PTW) failures being the largest single cause. Given these facts, it comes as no surprise that PTW systems are a key part in the provision of a safe working environment. Over the past four years Environmental Resources Management (ERM) has been auditing PTW systems as part of its key risk control systems audits. Numerous systems have been evaluated from a wide rage of industries, covering personal care products man- ufacturing to refinery operations.

  • Guide to Developing the Safety Risk Management Component of a Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan
    Guide to Developing the Safety Risk Management Component of a Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan Overview The Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) regulation (49 C.F.R. Part 673) requires certain operators of public transportation systems that are recipients or subrecipients of FTA grant funds to develop Agency Safety Plans (ASP) including the processes and procedures necessary for implementing Safety Management Systems (SMS). Safety Risk Management (SRM) is one of the four SMS components. Each eligible transit operator must have an approved ASP meeting the regulation requirements by July 20, 2020. Safety Risk Management The SRM process requires understanding the differences between hazards, events, and potential consequences. SRM is an essential process within a transit The Sample SRM Definitions Checklist can support agencies agency’s SMS for identifying hazards and analyzing, as- with understanding and distinguishing between these sessing, and mitigating safety risk.

  • TOXICOLOGY and EXPOSURE GUIDELINES ______(For Assistance, Please Contact EHS at (402) 472-4925, Or Visit Our Web Site At
    (Revised 1/03) TOXICOLOGY AND EXPOSURE GUIDELINES ______________________________________________________________________ (For assistance, please contact EHS at (402) 472-4925, or visit our web site at http://ehs.unl.edu/) "All substances are poisons; there is none which is not a poison. The right dose differentiates a poison and a remedy." This early observation concerning the toxicity of chemicals was made by Paracelsus (1493- 1541). The classic connotation of toxicology was "the science of poisons." Since that time, the science has expanded to encompass several disciplines. Toxicology is the study of the interaction between chemical agents and biological systems. While the subject of toxicology is quite complex, it is necessary to understand the basic concepts in order to make logical decisions concerning the protection of personnel from toxic injuries. Toxicity can be defined as the relative ability of a substance to cause adverse effects in living organisms. This "relative ability is dependent upon several conditions. As Paracelsus suggests, the quantity or the dose of the substance determines whether the effects of the chemical are toxic, nontoxic or beneficial. In addition to dose, other factors may also influence the toxicity of the compound such as the route of entry, duration and frequency of exposure, variations between different species (interspecies) and variations among members of the same species (intraspecies). To apply these principles to hazardous materials response, the routes by which chemicals enter the human body will be considered first. Knowledge of these routes will support the selection of personal protective equipment and the development of safety plans. The second section deals with dose-response relationships.

  • Finding Hazards
    FINDING HAZARDS OSHA 11 Finding Hazards 1 Osha 11 Finding Hazards 2 FINDING HAZARDS Learning Objectives By the end of this lesson, students will be able to: • Define the term “job hazard” • Identify a variety of health and safety hazards found at typical worksites where young people are employed. • Locate various types of hazards in an actual workplace. Time Needed: 45 Minutes Materials Needed • Flipchart Paper • Markers (5 colors per student group) • PowerPoint Slides: #1: Job Hazards #2: Sample Hazard Map #3: Finding Hazards: Key Points • Appendix A handouts (Optional) Preparing To Teach This Lesson Before you present this lesson: 1. Obtain a flipchart and markers or use a chalkboard and chalk. 2. Locate slides #1-3 on your CD and review them. If necessary, copy onto transparencies. 3. For the Hazard Mapping activity, you will need flipchart paper and a set of five colored markers (black, red, green, blue, orange) for each small group. Detailed Instructor’s Notes A. Introduction: What is a job hazard? (15 minutes) 1. Remind the class that a job hazard is anything at work that can hurt you, either physically or mentally. Explain that some job hazards are very obvious, but others are not. In order to be better prepared to be safe on the job, it is necessary to be able to identify different types of hazards. Tell the class that hazards can be divided into four categories. Write the categories across the top of a piece of flipchart paper and show PowerPoint Slide #1, Job Hazards. • Safety hazards can cause immediate accidents and injuries.

  • Hazard Assessment of Potential Storm Tide Inundation at Southeast China
    Hazard assessment of potential storm tide inundation at Southeast China coast Bingchuan Nie 1,2, Qingyong Wuxi 3,4, Jiachun Li 3,4, and Feng Xu1,2 1 School of Civil Engineering, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China 2 Beijing’s Key Laboratory of Structural Wind Engineering and Urban Wind Environment, Beijing 100044, China 3 Key Laboratory for Mechanics in Fluid Solid Coupling Systems, Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China 4 School of Engineering Science, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China Abstract Hazard assessment of storm tide is addressed for Southeast China coast in this study. In particular, we pay attention to the scarcely discussed issue of storm tide inundation. The main procedures of hazard assessment are: 1) non-stationary tropical cyclone intensification (TCI) and sea level rise (SLR) for the study area are analyzed based on the long-term historical database; 2) four typical scenarios of storm tide are examined using the surge-tide-wave coupled hydrodynamic model; 3) the potential inundated regions are identified on the GIS platform. The distributions of water elevation show that high water elevation tends to occur in the bays and around the estuaries. Without considering the impacts of TCI and SLR, the maximal water elevations caused by the typhoon wind of 100-year recurrence period can reach as high as 6.06 m, 5.82 m and 5.67 m around Aojiang, Feiyunjiang and Oujiang river estuaries, respectively. In this circumstance, about 533 km2 area is under the threat of storm tide inundation. TCI and SLR due to climate change can further deteriorate the situation and enhance the risk of inundation there.

  • Coastal Hazards & Flood Mapping – a Visual Guide
    COASTAL HAZARDS & FLOOD MAPPING A VISUAL GUIDE Coastal communities are special places and home to important resources. But what makes them so distinctive is also what makes them at high risk for floods. Floods are the nation’s costliest natural disasters, and coastal communities face many flood risks. These include storm surges, powerful waves, and erosion — all of which can cause extensive damage to homes, businesses, and public spaces. When a coastal storm approaches, community leaders and members of the media may use technical terms to describe storm-related risks. This visual guide explains these terms and how they relate to information shown on flood maps.
