The Dangers of Combustible Dust in Confined Spaces Combustible dust is one of the most under-recognized risks in industrial settings. This is where EHS professionals can become a vital resource to identify and prevent explosions. Unfortunately, combustible dust is present in practically every manufacturing and industrial processing facility, from aerospace and auto production to food processing and metallurgy. This makes it essential to understand the dangers of combustible dust to mitigate any unwanted incident: http://ow.ly/ct4h50NBOBv #CombustableDust #ConfinedSpace #DCSRescue

The Relation Between Workplace Safety & Productivity at Work There’s a common misunderstanding that workplace safety and productivity are mutually incompatible and that for one to benefit, the other must suffer. This is far from reality. The truth is that safety and productivity are mutually beneficial. Productivity improves when safety enhances. One feeds the other in ways that have become obvious as the use of remote and telework has increased.

Your Guide to When May the Attendant Enter a Confined Space Suppose you work in a manufacturing plant, a chemical facility, or other similar places. In that case, you are probably aware of the various rules and regulations that dictate entry into a confined space. When it comes to dealing with these spaces, there are usually three types of people involved. These are the supervisor, the entrant, and the attendant. Typically, only the entrant enters the confined space. However, there are some exceptions when an attendant can enter this space too. Read on as we discuss when the attendant can enter a confined space: http://ow.ly/sIEC50NBOGv #ConfinedSpaceAttendant #ConfinedSpaceEntry #DCSRescue

Practice Makes Perfect: Don’t wait for a real emergency to test your skills. Regularly conduct drills and practice rescue procedures to ensure everyone knows their role. Have a confined space plan. Remember, muscle memory can kick in when adrenaline takes over, so be prepared.

Relying on 911 for Permit-Required Confined Space Rescue? Permit-required confined space rescue situations can put workers’ lives or health in danger if not tested, evaluated, and controlled correctly. It is why OSHA has created a standard for Confined Spaces in Construction for spaces that are large enough for a worker to enter, are not designed for continuous occupancy, and have limited entry or exit space. One provision in this standard calls for employers to develop and implement procedures for summoning permit-required confined space rescue or emergency services. Any employer who relies on local emergency services needs to meet this OSHA requirement. But they need to be aware that not all rescue services or emergency responders are equipped or trained to conduct confined space rescues. When an employer calls an off-site rescue service, they need to ensure that they can protect their employees. Ideally, the emergency service should be aware of the site location, types of permit-required confined spaces in that location, and the equipment they will need for a successful rescue.

Training Takes You Places: Confined space work is no walk in the park. Proper training on hazards, procedures, and rescue techniques is vital for everyone involved. Remember, knowledge is power, and in confined spaces, it’s your ticket to survival.
