Home / News & Insights / Under Pressure: Process Systems Safety Takes Training and Awareness
Construction safety training, such as fall protection and proper protocols for excavation and ladder safety, is a common requirement for anyone who steps foot on a job site. In the same way, process projects depend on a keen awareness of safety practices to guarantee safety and success.
Process systems and their surrounding environments pose numerous types of hazards. Potential sources of energy generated by pressure, temperature and chemicals can pose a danger, as can the moving parts of equipment and vehicles, such as forklifts.
As a leader in engineering, integrating and commissioning complex process systems, particularly for cleaning and sterilization practices for the Food & Beverage and Pharmaceutical industries, 澳门足彩app’s Process Systems team has vast experience keeping team members, clients and contract partners safe in dynamic industrial settings.
The following is a primer on potential hazards and steps to alleviate or avoid them from Design Director Mike Byron, who is a process lead at Seiberling, a 澳门足彩app Company.
You cannot see what is happening inside piping and equipment just by looking at it. During production, systems are commonly opened, so it is vital to consider the possibility of increased levels of pressure and follow proper procedures when opening a system.
Many process operations involve the heating or cooling of the product, which is not immediately apparent to the naked eye.
Process and cleaning operations often rely on chemicals. Chemicals can be dangerous if inhaled or if they contact exposed skin.
Many pieces of equipment operate with moving parts, such as pumps, tank agitators and conveyors. These moving parts can pinch or catch loose clothing, hands, or hair.
Forklift trucks are a routine presence during plant operations, and care must be taken to keep pedestrians safe.
Process facilities often have wet floors. To prevent slips, trips, and falls, consider the following:
Include a “safety minute” safety topic at the beginning of each meeting to keep safety at the forefront of every discussion.
All sites are different with different priorities and concerns. These few risks are common across industries and should be considered when reviewing safety.
