BASIC SAFETY - Cont.

Always unplug

Bring to a controlled stop when switched off

HAZCOM

Material Safety Data Sheet

Container labelling Solvent and corrosives Disposal Hot work Spills - CIRT

FIRE AWARENESS

On discovery of a fire, call ERT, Channel ??

If trained to do so, tackle fire with extinguisher

Alert fellow worker

FIRE AWARENESS - Cont.

If fire cannot be extinguished after using 2 extinguishers, evacuate

Know your Company assembly point

Never re-enter the building/area for personal property

FIRE AWARENESS - Cont.

ERT will conduct head count at assembly point

ERT only will instruct when its safe to return to work

Stay off Channel ?? when emergency is in progress

SPILLS

Do not touch substance

Call ERT Barrier area

Advise fellow workers

Special PPE required for different chemicals

CONTAINER LABELLING

All containers must be labelled Label must show content and associated hazards Secondary containers must be labelled as per original Container must be suitable for proposed contents (i.e. spark arrestor on metal petrol cans)

MSDS

All substances coming on site must have a MSDS MSDS goes to Safety Dept.

Must be in 16-part, EC format

Explain purpose of MSDS Show overhead of MSDS

DISPOSAL

Disposal must be in accordance with MSDS

All waste disposal via ??????????

Waste must be in identifiable bags (i.e. corrosive solvents)

Minimum requirements - double bag - may need strong chemical bins

SOLVENTS / CORROSIVES
Product

identified from MSDS if solvent or corrosive

Specific

PPE require for solvents

flammable - may require forced ventilation or extraction

DISPOSAL OF SOLVENTS / CORROSIVES

All solvent waste must be disposed of in yellow solvent bags All corrosive waste must be disposed of in blue corrosive waste bags

HOT WORK

Hot work requires permit and must be looked

at in relation to work being carried on in your area (i.e. solvents, etc.)

CONTENTS

Situations that require lockout tagout of hazardous energies. Tagout only requirements

Lockout - tagout requirements

Special circumstances Summary

WHAT IS HAZARDOUS ENERGY?

Hazardous energy is the energy stored that if released may cause a serious accident or physical damage.

CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS ENERGIES

Purpose:

To ensure persons who work on or around hazardous energy sources are aware of controls to prevent injury or accidents.

5 TYPES OF HAZARDOUS ENERGY

Electrical Chemical Kinetic Thermal Pressure

Radiation

TYPES AND RISKS

Electrical 220 - 380 v, high voltage - substations Chemical reaction, fire, explosion Kinetic release of a spring, moving parts, falling objects Thermal Radiation hot/cold, radiation

Pressure pressurised gases, vacuum pumps, pneumatic cylinders

LOCKOUT
The placement of a lockout device on an energy isolation device. This ensures that the energy isolating device and the systems it controls cannot be accidentally operated.

TAGOUT
The placement of a tagout device on an energy isolation device to indicate that the isolation device and the system being controlled may not be operated until the tagout device is

removed.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Any

equipment able to store hazardous energy must have lockout and tagout capability.
trained and authorised persons can perform lockout - tagout. lockout - tagout device cannot be removed on behalf of another person, unless an approved transfer procedure has taken place.

Only

SITUATIONS REQUIRING THE USE OF LOCKOUT - TAGOUT

When servicing, maintaining or repairing mechanical equipment where parts could create a safety hazard. When working on pipelines that carry hazardous chemicals (e.g. high pressure, toxic, corrosive, etc.). On electrical circuits and systems where a high risk of electrical shock exists. Where other hazardous energies exists that may cause injury if intentionally released during service or maintenance.

TAGOUT

Tagout alone is permitted only in circumstances where a lockout device cannot be used.

Seek approval from your supervisor before commencing any work on equipment that cannot be locked out.
It is your responsibility to remove your tag or lock prior to closeout of the work permit.

TAGOUT REQUIREMENTS

A tag may only be removed by the person who attached it

A tag should never be bypassed, ignored or defeated A tag must be able to withstand the environmental conditions A tag must be securely attached so it is not inadvertently defeated A tag must only be transferred when ownership has to be changed for a task The new Owner must affix his tag with all relevant details and ensure the work permit shows the same details.

LOCKOUT - TAGOUT REQUIREMENTS

Always

follow the site lockout and tagout rules to control hazardous energies

Use

only approved locks and tags

A lock

or tag may only be removed by the person who applied it use a multiple lockout clasp in case others need to lockout

Always

LOCKOUT - TAGOUT REQUIREMENTS

Only

one key to one lock

Where

a machine or its supporting equipment are to be worked on all relevant permits must be used piped systems or exhaust ducting is to be worked on, then the system Owner must sign off the respective permits
