Here are five crucial turnaround safety topics from ResponsAble to navigate the challenges effectively:
Prioritize Personnel Management:
With the influx of contractors and temporary staff during turnarounds, the worksite population surges, amplifying the potential for accidents and hazards. Our seasoned safety staffing specialists understand the dynamics of your industry, ensuring adept placement of personnel tailored to your capital projects or plant turnarounds.
Safeguard Machinery Operations:
Introducing new machinery to address maintenance, cleaning, and enhancement tasks during turnarounds heightens the risk of user injuries, vehicular collisions, and exposure to hazardous gases. It takes an experienced safety personnel, supervision, and adherence to safety protocols to manage equipment-related risks. Our staff know what to keep their eyes on.
Manage Noise Exposure:
As the workforce and machinery activity intensify, so does the ambient noise level, posing risks to auditory health. Proactive measures to mitigate noise-induced hearing loss, such as providing protective gear and scheduling breaks from high-decibel environments, are essential for workforce well-being.
Mitigate Power Interruptions:
Frequent power outages are commonplace during turnarounds, necessitating reliance on secondary lighting and power sources. However, utilizing backup systems in the presence of airborne vapors and gases heightens the risk of accidents, emphasizing the need for meticulous risk assessment and precautionary measures.
Address Heat Hazards:
Turnaround projects often entail extensive hot work activities, elevating the risk of inadvertent ignition of flammable materials or release of combustible gases. Implementing stringent safety protocols, such as fire watch systems and thermal hazard assessments, is imperative to prevent heat-related incidents.
