Using Drones To Aid In Firefighting

In many cases, Drones can be an invaluable resource when dealing with fire. In the Oil And Gas Industry, when fitted with an infrared camera, they can be especially helpful in dealing with:

- - Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) fires
  - Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) fires
  - Natural Gas leaks

Drones And Fire

Drones can play an important role in speeding up the sizing up of the fire in industry, commercial, and even house fires. In commercial buildings and industrial complexes, a Drone can fly around the burning object, but it is a building or a vessel, and give the operator a good idea of the size of the fire and the temperatures they are facing. This can happen much faster and more accurately than a manual size-up. With this information, the PIC can more accurately determine how much equipment is needed, how many fire streams and water volumes are necessary, how many personnel need to be available, and the best way to attack the fire.

During the fire fighting operations, Supervisory Personnel can monitor the situation with a Drone. The information can be relayed back to a Command And Control Center in real-time, enabling them to monitor the effectiveness of the attack, see any secondary fires that might break out, and monitor personnel that is assisting with the operation. This information is also available to the On-Scene PIC so decisions can be made in real-time. Continue reading “Using Drones To Aid In Firefighting”

Safety In Confined Space

A confined space is typically defined as a space that is not designed for continuous occupancy and is difficult to enter and exit. They are typically small, enclosed areas with limited ventilation, making them hazardous to workers. Some examples of confined spaces include tanks, pits, chimneys, silos, underground sewers, pipelines, tunnels, wells, and storage bins. Confined spaces may have only one entry or exit point and may pose numerous risks to people working in these environments.

It is of vital importance that those working in confined space environments have a thorough understanding of the associated hazards and safety measures to mitigate those hazards. Continue reading “Safety In Confined Space”

Preparing for Success When Working & Learning Online

The COVID-19 Pandemic has made many aspects of our lives more difficult in 2020, seriously disrupting almost all aspects of day-to-day life, business operations, transportation, tourism and even education. With much of the workforce required to work from home under a “new normal”, many questioned the ability to remain productive and achieve both business and personal goals. However, using the right tools, many businesses can not only maintain reasonable levels of productivity in their workforce, they can also come out on the other side of this crisis stronger and better equipped thanks to online education.

For years, there has been numerous free and paid online education services offered by numerous companies, institutes and universities. While there has been adequate use of these offerings to keep them going and improving over the years, they have primarily been used by those who are more comfortable with technology. Thanks to the rapid adaptation required due to COVID-19 restrictions, increasing numbers of people are moving to online educational offerings to hone existing skills or develop new ones. The growth in online education has been explosive over the past 6 months.

Safety & Survival at Sea

Even in this modern age of aeroplanes and helicopters, we still rely heavily on the sea for transportation of goods. Cargo ships, oil tankers and fishing vessels still ply the waves around the world daily. Additionally, approximately 30% of the world’s oil supply comes from offshore exploration meaning a huge number of rigs, production platforms and support vessels are operating at sea.

As with any industry involving complex machinery and human interaction, accidents can, and frequently do, occur. In most instances, the root cause of casualties and incidents at sea occur due to the failure of machines, tools, systems or equipment, weather and human error. Mistakes made by workers and operators play a major role in maritime accidents, with complex investigations needed to unravel the chain of events leading to an incident. While an incident may be brief, it can leave lasting impacts, not just on the people involved, but also on the environment and ecosystem. Continue reading “Safety & Survival at Sea”

Safety & Survival in the Offshore Industry

Working On Offshore Can Be Dangerous

One of the most dangerous careers and hazardous professions both physically and mentally is working on an offshore oil and gas platform, because of the isolation, the extreme weather conditions, the location conditions and the operating of heavy machinery and equipment for hours at a time that can cause high risk of injuries and death. If something goes wrong on an offshore location, the results can be disastrous. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in its report recommends that “employers should ensure that the most stringent applicable transportation safety guidelines are followed.”

According to the UK Health and Safety Executive – (HSE), several divisions are taken as the most dangerous offshore jobs where most accidents and injuries occur, such as:

- - Deck Operations: There were around 39 incidents recorded from 2012 to 2014
  - Management and Accommodation: There were 43 death from 2013 to 2015
  - Oil and Gas: There were 56 incidents in 2014
  - Maintenance and Construction: There were 76 recorded injuries in this sector from 2014 to 2015
  - Drilling and Production: From 2014 to 2015, 19 incidents were recorded offshore UK and there is no evidence that current drilling safety measures are protecting drill operators

In most of these divisions, the heavy machinery and the high speed of the equipment used are a constant source of potential hazard. Oil and gas leaks that have led to major explosions, as in the case of Piper Alpha and Deepwater Horizon, are particularly lethal and devastate the local marine environment.

Safety should always be the number one concern of both employers and employees when working offshore. When safety becomes a secondary thought, serious accidents, injuries and even death can occur.
