Personal Protection for Heat
Exposure
Personal Protection for Heat
Exposure
We all agree Engineering controls
are the most desirable method of controlling heat exposure. Personal protective
equipment (PPE) should be used as an short-term measure while engineering
controls are being explored.
Eye protection
Eye protection that absorbs
infrared radiation (heat rays), need to be provided for employees when working
near very hot objects, such as molten metals and red-hot objects. Hot work like
welding and gas cutting activity also required effective eye protection.
Clothing
The work wear to be used by employees
should be in consideration for the heat exposure. Ordinary clothing provides
some protection from heat radiated by surrounding hot surfaces. Light clothing
allows maximum skin exposure and efficient body cooling by sweat evaporation.
Cotton clothing is cooler than polyester
clothing. However, cotton will absorb water and wet clothing tends to be
uncomfortable.
When selecting clothing, heat stress
prevention should be balanced with other health and
safety risks. For example, for outdoor
workers, a balance must be achieved between heat stress prevention and the
ultraviolet exposure.
Protective clothing
The selection of protective clothing
depends on the specific job activities. Working in certain hot environments may
require insulated gloves, insulated suits, reflective clothing,
infrared-reflecting face shields and safety footwear (e.g., foundry boots,
welder's boots).
For extremely hot conditions,
thermally conditioned clothing is available. Examples of such protective clothing
are:
Part 2 ADNOC & GULF HSE Interview Questions & Answer
• A compressed air source which feeds
cool air into the jacket or coveralls through a vortex tube.
• A jacket which has pockets that can
be filled with containers of ice.
Ensure the availability of such safety
equipment regarding the types of personal protective equipment available and
the degree of protection such clothing is expected to provide.
In a high radiant heat situation,
people generally use reflective clothing. However, this advantage may be nullified
if the clothes interfere with the sweat evaporation. For very hot environments
air, water or ice-cooled insulated clothing may be used.
HAZARDOUS AREA CLASSIFICATION PART 4
I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY 👇🏻
I AM A SAFETY PROFESSIONAL
I am not your enemy 👇🏻
I am a safety professional, i am
not your enemy.
I am not a killjoy nor do I want to
stop production, I derive no joy in disrupting your work.
My goal is to make sure you do your
work safely. I meant nobody gets hurt is my everyday mantra.
If I ask you to use your PPEs, it
is to limit your exposure to the hazard.
If I stop you from doing a unsafe
act, it is because I don't want to visit you in the hospital.
I go around in the workplace to
make sure all is well with processes and activities.
Sometimes I fight with you if you
are not following safety rules & regulations
it is because I deal in facts, not
faith.
I don't believe nothing will happen
because of faith.
I believe in putting procedures in
place to make sure something negative do not happen.
So, we will fight
if you do work based on faith
instead of principles
but remember I am not your enemy.
I am simply doing my job
if you make me an enemy, then good
luck to you
I am a safety profession.
I affirm, I am not your enemy. But
I am comfortable being your enemy, if it will make you go home safe to your
family everyday since your family is waiting for you at your home.
HAZARDOUS AREA CLASSIFICATIONS
HAZARDOUS AREA CLASSIFICATIONS
Hazardous area classification is
very important especially for the electrical equipment’s. We seen many
electrical incidents in the process industries are due to lack in the adherence
of HAC System.
HAZARDOUS AREA CLASSIFICATION PART 1
Please watch the Videos on HAZARDOUS AREA CLASSIFICATIONS which contains 4 Parts, You will get the details information on the subject.
HAZARDOUS AREA CLASSIFICATION PART 2
A “hazardous area” is defined as an
area in which the atmosphere contains, or may contain in sufficient quantities,
flammable or explosive gases, dusts or vapours. In such an atmosphere a fi re
or explosion is possible when three basic conditions are met. This is often
referred to as the “hazardous area” or “combustion” triangle.
When the electrical equipment is
used in, around, or near an atmosphere that has flammable gases or vapors,
flammable liquids, combustible dusts, ignitable fibers or flyings, there is
always a possibility or risk that a fire or explosion might occur. Those areas
where the possibility or risk of fire or explosion might occur due to an
explosive atmosphere and/or mixture is often called a hazardous (or classified)
location/area. Currently there are two systems used to classify these hazardous
areas; the Class/Division system and the Zone system. The Class/Division system
is used predominately in the United States and Canada, whereas the rest of the
world generally uses the Zone system.
SAFE WORK IN CONFINED SPACES
SAFE WORK IN CONFINED SPACES
What is a confined space?
Confined space can be any space of an
enclosed nature where there is a risk of death or serious injury from hazardous
substances or dangerous conditions (eg lack of oxygen). Some confined spaces
are fairly easy to identify, eg enclosures with limited openings:
Some examples of confined spaces like
:
storage tanks;
silos;
reaction vessels;
enclosed drains;
sewers.
What are the dangers from confined spaces?
Confined space hazards are very dangerous
in nature, it has the high potential for the serius incidents.
Dangers can arise in confined spaces
because of:
A lack of oxygen is one of the major dangerous
condition.
This can occur:
- where there is a reaction between
some soils and the oxygen in the
atmosphere;
- following the action of groundwater
on chalk and limestone which can
produce carbon dioxide and displace
normal air;
- in ships’ holds, freight containers,
lorries etc as a result of the cargo reacting
with oxygen inside the space;
- inside steel tanks and vessels when
rust forms.
Poisonous gas, fume or vapour will lead
to immediate danger to health and life.
These can:
- build-up in sewers and manholes and
in pits connected to the system;
- enter tanks or vessels from
connecting pipes;
- leak into trenches and pits in
contaminated land, such as old refuse tips and old gas works.
Liquids and solids which can suddenly fill the
space, or release gases into it, when disturbed. Free flowing solids such as
grain can also partially solidify or ‘bridge’ in silos causing blockages which
can collapse unexpectedly.
Fire and explosions (eg from flammable
vapours, excess oxygen etc).
Residues left in tanks, vessels etc,
or remaining on internal surfaces which can give off gas, fume or vapour.
Dust may be present in high
concentrations, eg in flour silos.
Hot conditions leading to a dangerous
increase in body temperature.
Some of the above conditions may already be present in the confined space. However, some may arise through the work being carried out, or because of ineffective isolation of plant nearby, eg leakage from a pipe connected to the confined space. The enclosure and working space may increase other dangers arising through the work being carried out, for example:
Machinery being used may require
special precautions, such as provision of dust extraction for a portable
grinder, or special precautions against electric shock;
Gas, fume or vapour can arise from
welding, or by use of volatile and often flammable solvents, adhesives etc;
If access to the space is through a
restricted entrance, such as a manhole, escape or rescue in an emergency will
be more difficult (see Emergency procedures).
WHY IS EYE SAFETY IMPORTANT?
WHY IS EYE SAFETY IMPORTANT?
Eyes are Priceless….
Eye injuries impact everyone, not just
the injured worker.
§ Why
is eye safety important? It’s the law! Occupational Safety and Health
Administration regulations require that employers provide a safe work environment,
which includes supplying the appropriate personal protective eyewear.
§ For
workers, eye injuries may lead to pain and discomfort, medical costs, lost work
time, lost wages, and even permanent disability.
§ For
employers, eye injuries may impact productivity, worker morale, and
compensation costs.
§ An
eye injury at work may severely impact daily living, family interactions,
recreational activities, and one’s enjoyment of life.
Common Causes of Eye Injuries
The most prevalent sources of eye
injuries include the following:
§ Scrap
materials, waste, and windblown dust
§ Flying
material particles or slivers from wood, metal, plastic, and cement
§ Chemicals
or chemical products
§ Falling
or misdirected objects
UV light from welding
torches
Reducing Workplace Eye Injuries
Proper selection and use of eye and
face protection will help prevent
eye injuries. Other precautions that employers and employees can take to reduce
the risk of eye injury include the following:
§ Ensure
that the appropriate eye protection is available at the worksite.
§ Keep
bystanders out of work areas and/or behind protective barriers.
§ Use
your tools properly and keep them in good working order.
§ Use
caution flags to identify potential hazards,
such as hanging or protruding objects.
§ Do
not remove your protective eyewear until you leave the site or are out of the
hazard zone. After you have finished with a tool or specific task, there still
may be hazardous materials around you from other workers.
§ Consult
your supervisor if you have any doubt about the type of eye protection needed
for a job or specific location.
§ Contact
lens users should wear goggles or full-face respirators in dust-laden or
chemical environments.
If your contacts feel gritty or are irritating you, remove them immediately.
Have a pair of prescription eyeglasses available if you need to remove your
contacts while working.
