Every Hydrocarbon Industries contribute a lot to the world from plastics used to manufacture an product to fuel used to run an product.Can you imagine an world without the need of hydrocarbon Industries ? Is it possible ? No. Is the Process Industries are 100% Safe and free of risk ? Well every industries hold it own risk level.But everyone what to safe and secure in life not only financially but only safe in terms of free of accident, injury and violence in workplace .
Not only the plant in "Live Condition" are complicated and hazardous, even after the shut-down its complex and risky. The total plant want to be shut-down, hazardous materials has to be purged, drained and isolated. It involves hard effort from each and every department(Production, Safety, Environmental, Maintenance).Here's a few express about the experience during an Hydrocarbon Industry shut-down for maintenance activity.
The ultimate power involved for execution of project.Who else could it be? People, the planning for the shut-down starts minimum a year before and recruitment from labour to specialist from all over the world gathered in an single place for a single dream. Did everyone are competitive enough? It varies but the enthusiastic and young adult who always keen to seek knowledge and showcase there talent, perception about the risk is different from the competitive person identifying and handling them would be far most important they would easy tamper with the safety gear and involved in life critical violation which posses immediate danger to life and health. Supervision plays an important role and to avoid any unwanted event and condition to takes place. Motivating the people who complying with safe procedures is vital and its also encourage the people around them.Giving training and daily safety talk about the activity in the work places makes everyone competitive and effective day by day,"Every competence person are once an beginner".
Complex workplace & demand as the shutdown of plant and the need to run the plant soon which push the maintenance all the way hard many simultaneous operations tooks place even it's a well planned one all the demand and need are not satisfied and accomplished people try to boycott safety to a level that they felt safe it arises based upon of there own level of experience and perception about the task which they perform a many number of times in their work times. Here the main concern is the time constraints to finish the task before the predetermined time period pressure from the management and also prove themselves that they are capable of completing any kind of tasks
The time frame the people tend to work will be 12 hours per day which not only drain the health but also mental wellness, which will dramatically affect the people performance, perception about risk, even though it was an shutdown employer should provide the employee scheduled rest period, refreshments in workplace, welfare facilities, plays a major role, supervisor tends to push his crew to work fast with or without being aware of the situation and pressure that the crew is facing during the work,movement of many people in the workplace leads to increases in workplace risk unnecessary movement of people, vehicle should be prevented inside the plant area,
Higher importance must be given to safety of people, equipment. People must be recognised and reward for their safe performance of task.Training and information regarding to the status of shutdown and start up should be shared with all the people in the safety meeting in there understandable language. Safety based performance in work place must be evaluated and if any constraints it should be reported and rectified immediately It's important to thinks being Safe is not a task they should understand that it's there responsibility and its not a subject wherelse its a way of living then safety is achievable in workplace.
