Dangers of Hot Work

[Duvmasta]

What kind of Accent does the Chairman have?

[gunfuego]

@Duvmasta they fall on bullets.....

[Duvmasta]

@gunfuego What do you mean by that?

[gunfuego]

@Duvmasta that they are so safe the only thing that could cause them to have an accident is something that's normally safe until something really awkward was to happen to cause it to be dangerous other than its original mode of being dangerous....

[Duvmasta]

@gunfuego I was asking about the Chairman's accent...

@Duvmasta The chairmans accent is Northern Irish.

The insidious sequence of events is most telling. Certainly, some of the incidents were straightforward, but decomposing matter found in most food processing plant water treatment systems and microbes producing hydrogen from metabolizing organic matter demonstrates a more thorough hot work permit system than many in the 'nontraditional' flammable arena use. It also shows that Management of Change is substantially more important in the non-CFR1910.119 PSM industries recognize.

CSB is ignoring the grossly outrageous regulatory performance of OSHA. It would be more effective to fix OSHA than to preach to workers.

@drbillcorcoran - CSB is only in existence under sufferance from OSHA. There is major political turf battling over them - even though they provide technical expertise which OSHA lacks...

Increase the quality of training is to expensive until stuff like this happens. Safety is number 1 then productivity, you are no good to a company dead. People get work done much faster when they are sure they are safe. In the examples shown in this video, those people were probably taught to press on when they are unsure as usually there is nothing wrong but with proper training I'm sure they would have learned to respect flammable materials at all times and from all sources and then proceed.
