I recently completed a course titled "Plant Start Up and Shutdown" at held National Industrial Training Institute (NITI) as part of my ongoing education and professional growth. Overview of course: The process of starting up and shutting down plant operations involves a series of coordinated steps to safely bring a facility online or take it offline. Start-up typically includes system checks, equipment calibration, and ensuring all safety measures are in place. Shutdown operations focus on safely ceasing production, securing equipment, and conducting necessary maintenance to prepare for the next operation cycle. Takeaway: Both procedures are critical for minimizing risk and ensuring operational efficiency.

How to investigate Accident/Incident? In this short video, we'll explain the easy process of Accident/Incident Investigation. If you are a safety practitioner you're often faced with investigating Accident/ Incident. Here are four easy steps to do that. #safetyfirst #accident #investigation #incident #safetyculture #accidentreport ___________________________________ aramco ADNOC Group QatarEnergy Shell bp ExxonMobil NEBOSH Safety Management Group 24Hr Safety Sonatrach Petrofac OQ

A Great informative and learning webinar session by the CEO Ijaz Ul Karim Rao of Velosi Integrity & Safety Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd.

Control of Work Training - Week 2 The journey continues, and I had another fantastic week delivering Control of Work (CoW) training at bp Egypt. It was a pleasure to meet professionals from bp Egypt - Ali Barakat from GFR gas plant; Sayed Abdelaziz and Mohamed Shaker from the Pharaonic Petroleum Company (PhPC is bp JV at Port Said); and Mohamed Abdellahi from bp Mauritania & Senegal - Greater Tortue Ahmeyim Project (GTA). On the photo from left to right. Development of self-verification skills in CoW is crucially important. Self-verification is an active engagement process with workforce conducted in real-time conditions, aimed at identifying gaps in CoW, HSE and Plant Operational procedures/documentations that may have been overlooked during formal assessments. It helps to spot hazards early, also helps to verify that appropriate controls are correctly implemented, and allows for proactive measures to be taken to prevent incidents. #ControlOfWork #SelfVerification #HazardIdentification #WorkplaceSafety #RiskAssessment #ControlsImplementation #ProactiveSafetyMeasures #humanfactor #toolboxtalk #CoWqualityassessments

Satorp way every day is to start with the most important thing which is Safety. Without safety, everybody cannot go back to family safely. One of the most important Gloden Rules in SATORP is (work permit). Most accidents around the world happen due to the wrong selection of a work permit or non-compliance with a permit or without a competent trained person etc. Anyone not Authorized to work on any activity if not allowed through a signed work permit.

Session 2 is now underway at this year’s virtual annual Conference. Many thanks to Petrofac for their support. We’re exploring the safety challenges associated with new energy technologies. First up we have Adam Chisholm from the Health and Safety Executive #energytransformation #processsafety #engineeringsolutions

What is #ProcessSafety ?? #ProcessSafety is a discipline focused on the prevention and control of incidents that could release hazardous materials or energy. These incidents can lead to fires, explosions, toxic releases and other serious consequences that can harm people, property and the environment. The primary objective of process safety is to #manage and #mitigate the risks associated with industrial processes. This involves preventing the leakage of #toxic, #flammable and #corrosive gases, as well as mastering physical parameters such as #pressure, #temperature, #level and #flowrate. We have gone through the methodology of hazard analysis, which revolves around 4 main stages: #IdentificationofPotentialHazards, which involves identifying the hazards associated with the #products, #processes, #GeographicalEnvironment, #NaturalEnvironment and #Accident history of the site. #PreliminaryRiskAnalysis #DetailedRiskAnalysis #ExploitationoftheResults, which consists of checking the conformity of the barriers established to reduce the risk. A number of methods are used to analyse risks, including #HazardIdentification (HAZID), #HazardandOperabilityStudies(HAZOP), #CausalTrees, #QuantativeRisksAnalysis(QRA), #SystematicAnalysisandTreatment(SAT), #FailureModeEffectsAnalysis(FMEA). There are several hazards associated with the storage of petroleum products: #UnconfinedVapourCloudExplosion(UVCE), #VapourCloudExplosion (VCE), #BoilLiquid #ExpansionVapourExplosion (BLEVE), #BoilOver, #Poolfire, #Jetfire etc... Together we ensure our safety and the future of our environment !!

The Backbone of Every Successful Project Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) is not just a checklist it’s the foundation of every successful project. Prioritizing EHS means protecting your team, minimizing risks, and ensuring sustainable practices. A safe project site is a productive project site, and there’s nothing more important than sending everyone home safely at the end of the day. Beyond compliance, fostering a strong EHS culture builds trust with your workforce and stakeholders, enhances efficiency, and reduces costly delays caused by accidents. I’ve seen firsthand how investing in EHS transforms project outcomes zero incidents, smoother operations, and stronger team morale. #ProjectManagement #EHS #SafetyFirst #Sustainability #LessonsLearned #LeadershipInSafety #ZeroIncidents #ConstructionSafety #TeamSafety aramco Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP) Saudi Electricity Company K-Electric

"Khaizen" materialisation. I have recently completed my IWCF Level 1 eleaning. As this was an insightful journey about our emerging oil and gas industry I have also enrolled in the WOCRM - Well Operations Crew Resource Management

Been in a vehicle is the only one activity almost all the People has on a daily basis. So, don’t be a Safety driver are hughes in terms of its consequences. Here some facts and data from UN Data and numbers - Every year, traffic collisions claim the lives of approximately 1.19 million people. - Road traffic injuries are the main cause of mortality among children and young people aged 5 to 29 years. - Although approximately 60% of the world's vehicles are concentrated in low- and middle-income countries, 92% of road deaths occur in these countries. - More than half of traffic accident victims are vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. - Traffic collisions cost most countries 3% of their GDP. In its resolution A/RES/74/299, the United Nations General Assembly has set the ambitious goal of halving, by 2030, the number of deaths and injuries caused by road traffic in the world. https://lnkd.in/gAd4bbnG Please, #StartSafe, #DriveSafe, #StaySafe, #ArriveSafe, #LiveSafe.
