SCBA

Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is a breathing apparatus designed to provide air to the user so that the user can breathe independently.

SCBA is used by:

- Firefighters

- Rescue Officer

- Emergency Response Team

- People who work in dangerous environments: Environments filled with thick smoke or toxic/hazardous gases

- Companies that store chemicals on-site that could create hazardous situations

SCBA consists of:

- Area to store air

- Pressure regulator that ensures air flows at a safe and consistent speed, so users don't run out of air too quickly

- Respiratory equipment: Mouthpiece and mask

Different types of SCBA:

- The SCBA that is used as a rebreather that filters, adds, and recirculates exhaled air

- The SCBA that provides fresh air every time the user breathes

- The SCBA that provides air stably

To use SCBA properly, the users should have knowledge about:

- When it will be required

- Components of SCBA

- Safe working practices and controls while using SCBA

- Correct testing and maintenance of the SCBA

- Breathing principles

- Hazardous gas

- Specific protective gear needed for different chemicals

- Associated risks of chemical reactivity and health hazards

Helicopter Load Master

The Helicopter Load Master (HLM) plays an important role in ensuring that the presence of goods will not compromise the safety of the Helicopter.

Some work done by HLM:

- Plan load placement by considering weight distribution and balance

- Supervise loading and unloading of cargo

- Arrange the placement of cargo in the helicopter to maintain balance and safety during the flight

- Ensure all items are placed in the right place

- Prevent overloading sensitive parts of the fuselage and cargo floor by strategically placing cargo

- Calculate the optimal center of gravity for the helicopter and ensure it remains within permissible limits throughout the journey

- Ensure that the weight of cargo does not interfere with the helicopter and its flight: The helicopter must not become tilted due to overload!

The knowledge must be had:

- Heliport

- Helideck

- Helicopter

- Safety Regulation

- Longline with remote hook

- Hover hook-up

- External Load Mission and Arrangement

- Equipment

- Dangerous goods

- Communication with Helicopter Pilot

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a hazardous and deadly gas!

H2S is usually found in:

- Workplace

- Basement

- Confined Space

- Closed space

- Hole

- Well

- Oil and gas wells

- Various industries: Oil and Gas, Mining, Tanning, Pulp and Paper, Rayon Manufacturing

Properties of H2S:

- Heavier than air

- Poisonous

- Flammable

The consequences of H2S on humans and living creatures:

- Health problems: Hard to breathe, dizziness, eye irritation

- Faint

- Death

Several things that must be done to deal with H2S:

- When you are in an area that is a risky place, don't just rely on your sense of smell

- Whatever happens, always use PPE

- Check if the area has ventilation or not

- Monitor the air in the area using special equipment

- If the special equipment detects the presence of H2S, identify the source of the dangerous gas

- Measure the levels of H2S

- Remove H2S from the source using special equipment

Knowledge you must have:

- Properties and characteristics of H2S

- Physiological effects

- PPE (respiratory equipment, EBA, SCBA, face mask)

- Hazards and risks

- Ways to detect and measure

- Detection equipment

- Alarms

- Incident/Emergency

- Ways to respond

- Role of Safety Team

Update your knowledge and skills, so your job can be done correctly and safely!

Control Room Operator

The Control Room Operator (CRO) is important in managing emergencies. Several things that CROs do to respond to emergencies that occur:

- Assess the situation when the alarm sounds

- Quickly understand what is happening: Is that a process disruption, equipment failure, or other critical event?

- Identify the situation and its severity

- Identify potential impacts on safety, production, and the environment

- Conduct the established Emergency Protocol

- Coordinate with the Emergency Response Team (ERT) so that the team can respond quickly and appropriately to emergencies that are occurring

- Provide important information to the ERT about the emergency that is occurring: Location, severity, and danger

- Communicate with Field Operators, Supervisors, and other personnel

- Perform Evacuation Procedures by guiding safe evacuation routes to ensure that personnel leave the area safely

- Stop certain processes

- Isolate equipment

- Activate safety systems: Fire Extinguisher, Gas Detection Device

- Minimize bad impacts

When the emergency has been handled, the CROs need to ensure that continuous improvements in the emergency response can be planned, made, and implemented.

The CROs need to have knowledge about:

- Ways to prevent or minimize the effect of an incident

- Safe Systems of Work

- Operational Risk Assessment

- Emergency Shutdown Control System

- Emergency Respond Team

- State of Readiness

- Warning sign and alarm

- Safety-critical information

- Emergency Procedures (ways to monitor, detect, respond, protect)

- Communication

- Isolation

- Shutdown

- Evacuation

Decisions made by the CRO have a direct impact on safety!
