Hazards energy

Chemical PPE In a fire or thermal energy hazard, PPE worn by responders should meet, at a minimum, the criteria in 29 CER 1910.156 (e), Eire Brigade Standard, requiring turnout gear. In conditions where skin absorption of a hazardous substance may result in substantial possibility of immediate death, serious illness, or injury or impaired ability to escape, totally encapsulated chemical protective suits should be used. It is vital to keep heat resistance of the totally encapsulated suits and the heat resistance of any PPE used underneath or in conjunction with the totally encapsulated suits in mind any time there is a thermal hazard. [Pg.174]

Examine all process parameters. Parameters (e.g., pressure, temperature, flow rate, level, pH) that are controlled or measured in a process are good indicators of possible process hazards. Process parameters should be examined for all modes of operation, independent of process chemicals, because some hazards exist that do not involve the chemicals. For example, if a process uses high-pressure steam, then both thermal energy and pressure-volume energy hazards exist even though steam is non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-reactive with most materials. [Pg.24]

Maintenance must sometimes be performed at elevated heights, within confined spaces, and in situations with challenging ergonomic conditions. Opening equipment that has not been properly prepared may have potential to release chemicals or electrical or mechanical energy. Hazards that exist in other parts of the process could be transported to areas where maintenance is underway, if the systems have not been suitably isolated or fully cleared of residual chemicals. [Pg.121]

The chemical industry contributes to the generation of total industrial or manufacturing waste in several ways. First, hazardous substances generated during manufacturing may be disposed of on land or incinerated, or treated by physical/ chemical means. Materials can also be recovered from this waste and they can be used as a source of energy. Hazardous chemicals produced by the chemical industry and incorporated into products that work their way through the supply chain will eventually be disposed of after final use. In addition, the chemical industry produces... [Pg.67]

Verification that all energy hazards have been locked out. The term lock-tag-try is applied when the electrically disconnected equipment is checked by attempting to start the equipment at the local start-stop switch. If the procedure has been performed correctly, the equipment will not start. [Pg.220]

As a way of providing context to the study, Chapter 2 gives a brief overview of wind turbines and wind farms and presents a short outline of the wind farm development process. It compares tasks common to land-based and offshore development and indicates those that are unique to offshore. The chapter also examines general similarities and differences between offshore oil and gas and offshore wind energy hazards. In addressing Task I (see Box 1-2) of the committee s charge, this chapter briefly describes the hazards involved with the phases of wind farm development and provides background for the more in-depth discussion of offshore hazards in Chapter 4. In addition. Chapter 2 provides an introductory comparison of the relative risk of hazards associated with offshore oil and gas operations that are relevant to offshore wind farms and that will be discussed further in Chapter 4. [Pg.19]

The kinds of energy hazards vary with the energy source. Petrochemical fuels have fire and explosive hazards. They produce products of potentially hazardous combustion. They may generate heat. Steam has thermal hazards. Electrically powered equipment hazards vary with the frequency for alternating current, the current flow, the charge stored, and other characteristics. [Pg.89]
