Permit To Work

HSE & Safety: Permit To Work

Workers in high-risk industries require a Permit To Work (PTW) so that safety can be prioritized & hazards & risks can be prevented & managed.

PTW is a formal system that is essential for:

- Risk Management: High-risk industries (construction, oil & gas, energy, power, mining, chemical plants & others) involve hazardous tasks (working at heights, handling flammable materials, entering Confined Spaces & others). PTW ensures that potential hazards & risks are identified & controlled before work begins to reduce the chances of accidents.

- Clear Authorization: PTW ensures that only trained & qualified workers can perform hazardous tasks, with the approval of the Supervisor & Safety Team. This ensures that everyone is aware of the risks & safety measures.

- Safety Procedures: PTW outlines specific safety protocols, such as wearing PPE, isolating hazardous sources, ensuring proper ventilation & others. This standardizes safety practices across the team.

- Coordination & Communication: PTW helps workers & teams coordinate high-risk tasks to prevent emergencies & ensure work is not done in hazardous & high-risk areas

- Emergency Preparedness: PTW also contains emergency response plans & ensures workers know what to do in case of an emergency (explosion, fire, fall, exposure to hazardous substances & others), such as using PPE & Fire Extinguishers & evacuating

- Regulatory Compliance: All countries & companies require PTW based on safety regulations. Non-compliance can result in fines, closures & legal liability.

Helicopter Underwater

Safety: Helicopter Underwater

Helicopters have been used for:

- Transporting people, animals & goods

- Military Operations

- Carrying out rescues in various places, including on water (river & sea), in various conditions, such as natural disasters, storms, floods & others

- Becoming one of the Rescue Equipment in Safety Procedures to search & rescue victims

However, Helicopters also have limitations, so accidents can also occur in Helicopters.

Several things happen when an emergency occurs in a Helicopter flying over the water:

- Helicopters make emergency landings on water: Helicopters that have an Emergency Flotation System can float briefly when an emergency landing is made

- Helicopters sink & capsize under the water due to waves, weight, or damage

Warning: Because Helicopters are not made to operate underwater, be careful if the Helicopter sinks in water! Beware of the dangers:

- Very cold water that can cause hypothermia

- Wild animals

- Storms & waves

Passengers, Pilots & Crews must immediately use Survival Equipment & be evacuated using a Life Raft if an emergency occurs in a Helicopter underwater.

Best Advice: Pilots, Crews & Workers who use Helicopters to cross the water & work above the water must undergo special training, including taking Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET), which provides the ability to exit a sinking Helicopter safely.

Plug And Abandonment

Energy: Plug And Abandonment

Plug & Abandonment (P&A) in the Drilling & Oil & Gas Industry refers to the process to:

- Permanently seal & isolate a well that is no longer productive & needed

- Ensure there is no environmental risk

P&A is usually performed when a well has reached the end of its economic life, is dry & no longer viable for production & exploration.

P&A Process:

- Well preparation: The well is cleaned & all production equipment is removed

- Plugging: Cement plugging equipment is installed at a specific depth to seal the wellbore & prevent fluid migration & hydrocarbon leakage to the surface or between underground formations

- Casing management: Sections of the well casing may be cut & removed, or left in place, depending on regulations

- Surface restoration: The wellhead is removed & the site is returned to its natural state or reused

P&A is essential for:

- Environmental protection

- Preventing groundwater contamination

- Complying with regulations

P&A is a complex & expensive process that demands precision to ensure long-term safety & integrity.

Fire In High-Risk Industries

Safety: Fire In High-Risk Industries

High Risk Industries (oil & gas, chemical manufacturing, mining, construction & warehousing) face fire hazards due to the Fire Triangle, complex operations & hazardous environments.

The Fire Triangle is required for a fire to start & stay burning:

- High heat: The energy required to ignite the fuel. This energy can come from matches, stoves, short circuits, or work involving welding, cutting & heavy machinery that produces heat that can start a fire. Heat raises the temperature of the fuel to its ignition point, which can cause a fire to start.

- Combustible material: Anything that can burn, such as wood, paper, iron, metal, petrol & gas. Fuel provides the material that the fire consumes to keep burning.

- Oxygen: Fire requires oxygen from the air to sustain the chemical reaction of combustion. Air contains about 21% oxygen, which is sufficient for most fires. Some industries use oxygen-rich environments, which allow fires to burn & grow.

If one of the Fire Triangle is missing, the fire will stop. To put out a fire, you must disrupt the triangle by:

- Removing heat with water

- Removing combustible materials

- Removing oxygen with a fire blanket or foam

Other factors that can cause a fire:

- Workers not following Safety Protocols

- Broken equipment & machines

Types of fires that typically occur in High-Risk Industries:

- Class A: Fires that typically occur in construction involving solid materials such as wood or paper

- Class B: Fires that typically occur in oil refineries fueled by flammable liquids such as oil or gasoline

- Class C: Fires in electrical wiring or faulty equipment

- Class D: Metal fires that typically occur in manufacturing or mining involving titanium or magnesium

- Class K: Fires that typically occur in kitchens or processing plants involving oil or grease

Industrial fires can cause:

- Injuries

- Deaths

- Environmental damage

- Financial loss

Fire Prevention & Suppression

High-Risk Industries must use strict measures to prevent & control fires:

- Regularly maintain equipment & machines

- Have a Cooling System to manage hot temperatures

- Have a Ventilation System to prevent the buildup of vapors

- Store flammable materials safely in closed containers or isolated areas

- Clean up dust or flammable debris

- Detect fires by using smoke alarms, heat sensors & gas detectors

- Use PPE: Fire-resistant clothing & breathing apparatus

- Use Fire Extinguishers: Water, foam, or other fire extinguishers that are suited to the specific type of fire

- Train workers to extinguish fires & evacuate

Fires in high-risk industries are serious, but they can be prevented & controlled with proper Precautions & Handling.
