SHORT CUTS NEVER HAVE

GOOD ENDINGS!
 Here’s what SHORT CUTS can do:-
At a chemicals site, a member of the greasing team had to
change the oil on the gearbox of a compressor. To speed up
the draining process, he as usual, pressurised the gearbox
(normally breathing to atmosphere) with maintenance air at
6 bars...the result you can see on attached pictures:
explosion of the gearbox with 15mm thick cast iron blocks
flying around and bending nearby handrails and pipes.
Fortunately, the person was not injured and is only
recovering from the emotional shock.

We have checked no one else was using this worst practice on the site, but
you might want to do the same.
