1. Presentation on Plant Safety Presented By: Famous Enwenezi HSE Supervisor Paper on Plant Safety

2. Presentation on Plant safety Plant General Safety The purpose of the safety presentation is to eliminate or minimize all potential hazards and to avoid accidents involving injury to personnel or damage to property. These does not cover each imaginable situations during operation. If there is doubt regarding safety on your job consult your supervisor for guidance and advise.

9. What is this?

10. Result of Accidents Accidents Accidents often inflict suffering and loss. Therefore it is good for each and every employee to know that even the smallest contribution towards safer working methods and environment reduces the risk of accident. Your safety and the safety of your fellow man depends on the interest and concern each individual shows by observing these rules and regulations.

11. Presentation on Plant Safety General Approach to Avoid Accidents Attitude is the key factor in accident prevention Develop a positive and continuing concern for safety, both on and off the job, by making safety a matter of personal commitment.

12. Supervisor‘s Role On Safety Supervisors are responsible for understanding and observing the safety procedures.. Improve safety work on site and make safety suggestions Report all unsafe practices and unsafe conditions Use the personal protective equipment provided and/ or required by nature of work Teach safety to new employees and set a good example. Report any injury or accident immediately.

13. How to Improve on Safety? Training Often when accidents occur.. the reason is wrong working methods, faulty tools, vague working descriptions, i.e. things that could have been eliminated by proper training.

14. How to Improve on Safety? Tidiness One big factor in improving the safety is tidiness Keep the tools at their own given places Keep corridors free from materials not belonging there Keep floors clean from oil spills etc.. “Tidiness creates Safety”

15. Use of Personal Protection Equipment Hard Hat You are required to wear a safety helmet whenever working at construction site or power plant. Hearing Protection Ear plugs or muffs shall always be used in all areas designated as a high noise area or in any other operation where hearing can be impaired.

16. Use of Personal Protection Equipment Goggles and Facial Protection Safety glasses shall be used: when buffing or grinding when chipping paint or welding slag when handling strong agents, corrosives, or acid when blowing pipe lines with compressed air for cleaning purposes.

17. Use of Personal Protection Equipment Gloves Always use gloves, not only when handling very hot or very cold materials or tools. Protective Shoes You are required to wear a safety foot-wear whenever working at construction site or power plant. Use hard-toed, slip-resistant leather footwear.

18. Use of Personal Protection Equipment Dress Code Necklaces and bracelets should not be used, especially when working with live electrical equipment or assembling/overhauling of engines and mechanical equipment. To avoid burns, wear a long sleeved garment with buttoned cuffs so that the arms are fully covered.

19. Use of Personal Protection Equipment Tools Accidents arising from the use of hand and power tools are frequently caused by human error, misuse of tools, or using defective tools. All personnel shall select and use the correct tool for the job, as the poor quality hand and power tools increase the risk of accidents .

22. Safety During Maintenance Before Conducting Engine Maintenance/Repair: Secure “Work Permit” Lock and tag Engage turning Gear Switch-off prelube oil system Switch-off HT heater at least 12 hours before work is done to cool down the engine Close starting air valve Switch-off fuel system, close in and out valve in booster unit Position “Stop Lever” to off position Open the indicator cocks

23. Handling of Fuel and Lube Oil Avoid: Avoid skin contacts with heavy fuel oils and lube oils if possible. Wear suitable protective globes and apply a protective ointment to the skin. Avoid breathing in oil vapors if possible.

36. Fire Safety IN CASE OF FIRE: R --- Rescue people from vicinity A --- Alarm C --- Confine the fire E --- Evacuation / Extinguish USE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER: P --- Pull the safety pin A --- Aim the nozzle at the base of fire S --- Squeeze the Handle S --- Sweep from side to side at the base of the fire IN EMERGENCY. Do not Panic; Do not do more than you are qualified to do so; Do not save things that endangers anyone; Use common sense FIRE SAFETY

40. Classification of Fires Classification of Fires Class A fires: involving carbonaceous solid materials of organic nature, e.g. wood, cloth, paper, rubber etc. Class B fires: involving flammable liquid or liquefiable solids, e.g. heavy fuel oils, diesel oil, lube oil, grease tars, paints etc. Class C fires: involving gases, e.g. cooking gas, welding gas Class D fires: involving metals, e.g. magnesium, sodium and potassium

41. Extinguishing Agents General Extinguishing Agents Class A : water spray, water jet, flooding, CO 2 Class B : foam, CO 2 , dry powder Class C: dry powder, CO 2 Class D: special dry powders

42. Fire Extinguisher Rating Class A Extinguishers   will put out fires in ordinary combustibles, such as wood and paper. The numerical rating for this class of fire extinguisher refers to the amount of water the fire extinguisher holds and the amount of fire it will extinguish. Class B Extinguishers   should be used on fires involving flammable liquids, such as grease, gasoline, oil, etc. The numerical rating for this class of fire extinguisher states the approximate number of square feet of a flammable liquid fire that a non-expert person can expect to extinguish.

43. Fire Extinguisher Rating Class C Extinguishers   are suitable for use on electrically energized fires. This class of fire extinguishers does not have a numerical rating. The presence of the letter “C” indicates that the extinguishing agent is non-conductive. Class D Extinguishers   are designed for use on flammable metals and are often specific for the type of metal in question. There is no picture designator for Class D extinguishers. These extinguishers generally have no rating nor are they given a multi-purpose rating for use on other types of fires.

44. Multi-Class Rating Labelling Many extinguishers available today can be used on different types of fires and will be labeled with more than one designator, e.g. A-B, B-C, or A-B-C. Make sure that if you have a multi-purpose extinguisher it is properly labeled. New Old

46. Portable Fire Extinguishers Dry Chemical extinguishers are usually rated for multiple purpose use. They contain an extinguishing agent and use a compressed, non-flammable gas as a propellant. Halon extinguishers contain a gas that interrupts the chemical reaction that takes place when fuels burn. These types of extinguishers are often used to protect valuable electrical equipment since it leaves no residue to clean up. Halon extinguishers have a limited range, usually 4 to 6 feet. The initial application of Halon should be made at the base of the fire, even after the flames have been extinguished

47. Portable Fire Extinguishers Water -    These extinguishers contain water and compressed gas and should only be used on Class A (ordinary combustibles) fires Carbon Dioxide (CO2) extinguishers are most effective on Class B and C (liquids and electrical) fires. Since the gas disperses quickly, these extinguishers are only effective from 3 to 8 feet. The carbon dioxide is stored as a compressed liquid in the extinguisher; as it expands, it cools the surrounding air. The cooling will often cause ice to form around the “horn” where the gas is expelled from the extinguisher. Since the fire could re-ignite, continue to apply the agent even after the fire appears to be out.
