Fires employees

For example, you may write in your resume, "I managed a store, hired and fired employees, and explained the products to the customers." If you use the AutoWriter feature of WinWay Resume, your resume is more likely to read "I managed the most profitable store in the chain, had the lowest employee turnover rate, and made sure that each and every customer that came to the store was fully satisfied before they left." Wouldn t you think that this will make an employer more likely to invite you for an interview ... [Pg.155]

EXPLOSION and FIRE CONCERNS noncombustible solid NFPA rating (none) contact with fluorine, oxygen difluoride, and chlorine trifluoride will cause fire employees must be trained and equipped to fight fires, as stated in OSHA 1910.156 extinguish fire using an agent suitable for firefighting purposes. [Pg.882]

Electrically conductive shoes reduce the risk of static electricity, which could produce a spark and cause an explosion or fire. Employees working In hazardous environments such as explosives manufacturing facilities or grain elevators must wear conductive shoes. Foot powder - which provides hsulatlon and reduces conductivity - should NOT be used with conductive footwear. Silk, wool and nylon socks can produce static electricity and should not be worn with conductive footwear. Note Employees exposed to electrical hazards must NOT w ear conductive shoes. [Pg.36]

VCE (vapor cloud explosion), 864 Fire water tanks, elevating, 41 Firing employees. See Hiring and firing. [Pg.972]

Chemical safety data sheets for individual compounds should be consulted for detailed information. Precautions for the higher aldehydes are essentially those for most other reactive organic compounds, and should include adequate ventilation in areas where high exposures are expected fire and explosion precautions and proper instmction of employees in use of respiratory, eye, and skin protection. [Pg.473]

Disaster Planning. Plant managers should recogni2e the possibiHty of natural and industrial emergencies and should oversee formulation of a plan of action in case of disaster. The plan should be weU documented and be made known to all personnel critical to its implementation. Practice fire and explosion drills should be carried out to make sure that all personnel, ie, employees, visitors, constmction workers, contractors, vendors, etc, are accounted for, and that the participants know what to do in a major emergency. [Pg.102]

As another example, a fire was said to have been caused by lightning. The report acuTiitted that the grounding was faulty but did not say when it was last checked, if it was scheduled for regular inspection, if there was a specification for the resistance to earth (ground), if employees understood the need for good grounding, and so on. [Pg.2269]

Catastrophic release Under OS HA PSM and EPA RMP, it means a major uncontrolled emission, fire, or explosion, involving one or more highly hazardous chemical substances (per OSHA) or regulated substances (per EPA) that presents serious danger to employees in the workplace (per OSHA) or imminent and substantial endangerment to public health and the environment (per EPA). [Pg.213]

Consequence Phase 3 Develop Detailed Quantitative Estimate of the impacts of the Accident Scenarios. Sometimes an accident scenario is not understood enough to make risk-based decisions without having a more quantitative estimation of the effects. Quantitative consequence analysis will vary according to the hazards of interest (e.g., toxic, flammable, or reactive materials), specific accident scenarios (e.g., releases, runaway reactions, fires, or explosions), and consequence type of interest (e.g., onsite impacts, offsite impacts, environmental releases). The general technique is to model release rates/quantities, dispersion of released materials, fires, and explosions, and then estimate the effects of these events on employees, the public, the facility, neighboring facilities, and the environment. [Pg.36]

Automobile and marine fuel handling is covered in NFPA 30A. This section addresses specific operations in which static electricity has caused fires and injury. Relevance to the CPI includes employee safety programs and company-owned gasoline fueling depots. [Pg.163]

Workers involved in hazardous waste eleanup, handling hazardous materials or other hazardous substanees, faee a more serious safety and health risk than do most eonstruetion or manufaeturing operations. In addition to the typieal slips, trips, and falls found in other eonstruetion or manufaeturing operations, employees handling hazardous waste or ehemieals may eneounter a variety of other hazards ineluding fires, explosions, and health-related issues assoeiated with exposures to toxie substanees. [Pg.1]

The city s fire department now has 60 full-time employees, modern fire engines, foam-spraying trucks and other vehicles to combat hazardous materials spills and fires of all sizes. [Pg.249]

An explosion and fire at an Albright Wilson Americas phosphorus chemicals plant in Charleston, SC (June 17, 1991) killed six and injured 33. The damaged unit lost part of its walls and roof Eight other units on the 200 employee site, sustained minor or no damage, but were shutdown for a few days. At the time of the accident, plant workers were mixing chemicals in the No. 2 reactor in the special products unit when an explosion and fire occurred. Five of the people killed were contract employees not directly involved with the reactor, but were installing insulation nearby. [Pg.259]

The chemical process industry is vast and varied. The value of chemicals and chemical products in 1993 was 0.5 trillion for the Ll.S," involving 67,000 chemical engineers, 98,000 chemists. There were 5.5 non-fatal occupational injuries per 100 employees in 1995 involving chemical and allied products, and 4.8 per 100 workers in petroleum and coal products, There were 101 fatalities due to exposure to caustic, noxious or allergenic substances and 208 deaths from fires and explosions in 1995. [Pg.262]

There is no doubt that without nitrogen (or other inert gas) many more people would be killed by fire or explosion. Nevertheless we have paid a heavy price for the benefits of nitrogen. Many people have been asphyxiated by it. In one group of companies in the period 1960-1978, 13 employees were killed by fire or explosion, 13 by toxic or corrosive chemicals, and 7 by nitrogen. It is our most dangerous gas. [Pg.248]
