Barricades ? and why it is important ?

(image:pixabay) The purpose of barricades is to protect personnel by preventing or controlling access to hazard/high risk work area by the installation and maintenance of barricades. General Barricades shall be erection to prevent personnel from inadvertently been exposed to a hazard. Examples of when barricading shall be erected includes, where there is a danger of a person falling or being struck by falling objects, where there is a danger of injury from equipment or processes or for maintenance of switchboards & high voltage testing Work requiring a barricade shall not commence until the requirements of this procedure have been satisfied Barricades shall be removed when work have been completed or when the hazard is controlled. Barricade Safety Where barricade tape is used to restrict access to an area the following rules apply minimum: The barricade area must encompass the entire potentially affected area of the area ha

Calibration of equipment Health, safety and Environmental

Calibration is The set of operations that applied under specified conditions for standardization of Measuring Equipment. It is also explained as checking relationship between the values indicated by Measuring Equipment or system and the corresponding accurate standard to determine any deviations or errors and correcting the same. HSE department has some equipment that must be calibrated. All equipment used in the project will be calibrated, this is done regularly and periodically in accordance with the requirements and standards. There are types of equipment HSE department, such as: · Noise monitoring equipment (6 month_period calibration) · Air monitoring equipment (6 month_period calibration) · Humidity monitoring equipment (6 month_period calibration) · Gas detector equipment (12 month_period calibration) · Lux meter equipment (6 month_period calibrat

What is Job Safety Analysis (JSA) ?

Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is structural approach for hazard and risk potential identification in a job and gives corrective action steps. The purpose of Job Safety Analysis is to provide a systematic and documented method of identifying hazards, selecting control measures and establishing healthy and safe and environmentally responsible methods. JSA Methodology : Hazard Potential, Some tasks have a recognizable hazard potential greater than activities generally conducted at the site/workplace. For example dual cranes lift, spray painting within close vicinity of hot-work, etc. Consequence of Failure, A work method failure during the execution of some tasks may result in unacceptably damaging consequences. For instance high pressure pneumatic testing of pipe lines. Accident History, Any task associated with a poor accident record. Changed Work Methods, Repetitive tasks which are the subject of proposed change to the work method procedures. JSA Procedure
