Safety Message:
Stress is the leading cause of low back pain and injuries. It is imperative that during our daily operations we remain calm
and take a deep breath and remember why we are here.
Weather Summary:
 Moderate east-southeasterly 10-15 knot winds, a 80-90% chance of rain, and 4-7 foot seas as a result of Hurricane
Alex will continue to hamper oil recovery efforts across the northern-central gulf today. Weather conditions will
begin to improve later tonight and tomorrow with a 50% chance of showers expected Friday. Strong wind and
current patterns will push the oil plume towards the northwest over the next few days. Offshore, no significant
amounts of oil are within or moving towards Eddy Franklin and there is no clear path for oil to enter the Florida
Straits within the next 5 days.
 Alex made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane just south of the Texas/Mexico border last night, has weakened to a
tropical storm, and is expected to weaken further to tropical depression strength later today as it tracks west
across Mexico. Elsewhere, no tropical activity is expected in the Atlantic Basin within the next 48 hours.

afternoon. Highs around 84. Northeast winds around 10 mph shifting to the east in the afternoon. Chance of rain 60

ICS 202
all twisting motions of the back and use your feet to turn instead.
Back injuries and thus back pain can often be prevented by performing daily stretches and using proper body posture
while sitting at the desk.

Stress is the leading cause of low back pain and injuries. It is imperative that during our daily operations we remain calm
and take a deep breath and remember why we are here.

Andrew Davenport is the designated Safety Officer. However, EVERYONE IS A SAFETY OFFICER.
When a potential hazard is discovered:
1. Make sure that everyone else in your workplace is aware of the problem.
2. Notify your supervisor. Unless you are the supervisor; then get going on that safety committee plan.
3. File any reports or documents about the problem.
4. Follow up. Telling someone there‟s a problem is not a guarantee that the problem will be resolved
satisfactorily. Report it and later follow up to make sure the problem was addressed.
Area Update:
 Tar balls, tar patties and sheen have been reported in Northwest Florida, with the heaviest impacts reported in
Escambia County.
 Impacts in the already affected areas in Northwest Florida will continue within the next 72 hours.
 If oil is sighted on Florida‟s coastline report it to the State Warning Point at 1-877-2-SAVE-FL (1-877-272-8335)
or by dialing #DEP from most cell phones.
 Pensacola Pass as well as Perdido Pass will continue to be closed with the tide to reduce the amount of oil
entering inland waters. These waterways are manned to allow access to necessary vessel traffic and are open for
vessel traffic during low tide. See NOAA tide predictions.
 Observations by NOAA continue to indicate no significant amounts of oil moving toward the Loop Current. The
Loop Current Ring, a circular current which was formerly part of the Loop Current provides no clear path for oil
to enter the Florida Straits.
 There have been no reports of Deepwater Horizon oil spill-related oil products reaching the shore beyond the
Northwest Florida region. There is no indication that the rest of the state will have impacts from weathered oil
products within the next 72 hours.
