The Ultimate Guide to Alarm Management for Safety Officers in the Groundwater Management Industry https://hubs.la/Q02ycfrH0

2021 marked the third year of extraordinary fire seasons in the Western United States.     Clear Path was contacted by a large utility company to help them stand up pre-inspection operations to ensure they were meeting their commitments for enhanced vegetation management (EVM).    Because of the number of fires created by overgrown vegetation around power lines, regulators and government officials are closely monitoring utilities. When our client contacted us, they needed 50 to 70 qualified inspectors in less than 10 weeks (about 2 and a half months).    The Western United States didn't have the necessary inspectors available, so Clear Path put together an aggressive recruiting plan to find candidates across the United States and Canada. We created a thorough and accelerated training program that met the client's requirements as well as regulatory compliance.    We deployed teams of 5 to 7 people, each team having a lead inspector. Clear Path also managed the project by providing supervisors assigned to work with two to three teams each. In waves of 5 to 10 inspectors at a time, our professional team was on-boarded, trained, and deployed over the 10-week period.    Clear Path met client expectations, staffed 67 inspection positions over a 10-week period, and met the high standards of both the utility and the governmental entities overseeing them. Whether it's for emergency or non-emergency assistance, Clear Path is the industry's leading solutions provider, able to offer the right solutions faster than anyone else.    Learn more at https://lnkd.in/grvSmQyT.    #FireSafety #UtilityManagement #InspectionServices #EVM #EmergencyResponse

I was at a plant with a HORRENDOUS alarm system. I shared with the area manager my confidence that the probability of an operator missing an alarm was 100%, although I couldn't pinpoint which alarm it would be. Considering the potential impact on safety, environmental, or asset-related concerns, the question arises: what would be the risk reduction associated with implementing a more effective alarm system? #process safety #alarm management

🔧 Environmental Compliance Supervisor 🌍 As someone who supervises and conducts operation and maintenance activities for closed landfills, I can attest that this responsibility is both challenging and rewarding. Our primary aim is to ensure these sites are environmentally safe and compliant with all regulatory standards. Given the importance of maintaining closed landfills, the role requires a meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of environmental protocols. Travel forms a significant part of this job—up to 75% of my time is spent on the road, visiting different sites across various states. While this might sound daunting, it offers a unique opportunity to see diverse landscapes and work with a variety of local teams. The key is to stay flexible and organized, ensuring that every site receives the thorough care and inspection it deserves. Being on the move so often means each day is different. One day, you could be conducting ground water sampling, and the next, supervising the repair of a gas collection system. The experience and insights gained from this traveling role are invaluable. It's about ensuring that safety and environmental integrity are never compromised. #EnvironmentalManagement #Sustainability #LandfillOperations #wm #wmcareers #jobs #supervisor #nowhiring #careers

Stewart McGillivray looks at whether closed system remote monitoring should be viewed as a 'pre-incident risk avoidance system, or post-incident action alert system', and explains how monitoring of this type could be incorporated into the Building Management System. #closedloop #corrosionmonitoring #facilitiesmanagement #buildingmanagementsystems #watertreatment https://lnkd.in/gTMB34Eh
