    What Went Wrong - By Trevor Kletz

    VESSELS NOT FREED FROM HAZARDOUS MATERIAL!!!


    A vessel was divided into two halves by a baffle, which had to be
    removed. The vessel was cleaned out, inspected and a permit was
    issued for a worker to enter the left-hand side of the vessel to remove
    the baffle by hot work. It was impossible to see into the right-hand side.
    But because the left-hand side was clean and because no combustible
    gas could be detected, it was assumed that the other side was also
    clean. While the welder was performing hot job, some deposit in the
    right-hand side caught fire. The welder got out without serious injury
    but bruised himself while coming out of the vessel.

    Things to Remember:
    • If a part of the vessel cannot be inspected, then we should assume
    the vessel contains hazardous materials.
    • If the previous contents were flammable, we should assume there is
    some flammable material out of sight.
    • If the previous contents were poisonous, we should assume there is
    some poisonous material out of sight, and BA Set should be worn for
    entry.
    • Gas tests alone are not conclusive. There may be some sludge
    present that gives off gas when heated or disturbed.

    ARE YOU STILL USING YOUR MOBILE PHONE WHILST


    DRIVING?

    When using a hand held mobile phone you travel an


    additional 14 metres before stopping. Worse than
    being drunk

    0m

    Road traffic fatalities (including pedestrians, cyclists and


    motorists) are projected to double over the next two decades
    to over 1.3 million people annually, moving from ninth to third
    in terms of the leading causes of injury and disease globally.
    Make sure you and your colleagues are not one of those
    statistics
