VESSEL SAFETY GEAR CHECKLIST 🦺 ⚠️ #Spring is a good time to check your vessel’s safety gear. Make sure you have enough life jackets that fit everyone who will be riding on your vessel and more importantly make sure EVERYONE wears a life jacket. #LifeJacketsWornNobodyMourns

What's the difference between lifejackets and lifebuoys? 🚢 When we talk about safety, lifebuoys and lifejackets are two essential pieces of individual equipment that can save lives in the event of an emergency. 🛟 Lifebuoys are placed around the ship to provide immediate support to anyone who falls overboard. These flotation devices are easy to deploy and can keep someone afloat while they await rescue. 🦺 Lifejackets, on the other hand, are personal safety devices that should be worn in critical situations. They are designed to keep a person’s head above water, ensuring survival even in rough seas. 📄 As per the SOLAS Convention (Chapter III, Regulation 7), “all ships must carry sufficient lifebuoys and lifejackets for all persons on board and ensure their accessibility in an emergency.” This global standard emphasizes the importance of life-saving equipment on every vessel. 🗓 Average Lifespan 🔹️Lifebuoys typically have a lifespan of 10 years, but regular inspections for cracks, UV damage, and wear and tear are crucial to ensure their reliability. 🔹️Lifejackets generally last 8-10 years, but they should be checked frequently for any material degradation, damage to straps, or faulty inflation mechanisms (in the case of inflatable ones, which generally last 5-8 years depending on their usage). Key Steps ⤵️ 🔸️Ensure lifebuoys are accessible and in good condition. 🔸️Regularly inspect lifejackets for possible damages and proper fit. 🔸️Conduct frequent safety drills to familiarize crew members with emergency protocols. Safety should always come first on any vessel. By ensuring lifebuoys and lifejackets are ready for use, we contribute to safer seas for everyone. #Didyouknowthat #MaritimeSafety #SOLAS #Lifebuoys #Lifejackets #SafetyFirst #Seafaring #MaritimeIndustry

Safe Lifting

The best grease for heavy equipments is the type suggested in the operation manual. It's important to note that different locations on heavy equipments might require different grease type.It all depends on the operating temperature of that joint. Some heavy equipment machines come with Auto-Lubrication-System which would require lighter less thick grease. Greasing heaving equipment is often considered a daily maintenance task for many equipment operators along with fueling and locking up the machines. However, not everywhere is required to be greased every day. Information will be in the operation manual about where to grease and how often. Skipping greasing schedules can be detrimental to the performance of the machine as the wear on pins and bushings will cause failure in performance. Lubricate heavy equipment machines according to standard charts as per OEM.

Happy Tuesday! Here is this week’s :60 Seconds for Safety message, brought to you by our parent company, MYR Group. Keeping your body safely positioned is about the way you’re moving your body as well as where your body is in relation to your surroundings. Always take a few moments to consider your body positioning before starting a task. Ask yourself if any body parts are in the bite, in the line of fire, or at risk from pinch points. Before lifting, make sure you know the correct position and motion for lifting. Use your legs – not your back – and always ask for help or use mechanical means if an item is heavy or awkward. As you work, check to ensure you’re in the optimal position for the situation. It’s important to be taking care of your body as you work, and this starts with making sure you have proper body positioning as you begin and while you’re conducting any task.        At High Country, Safety is Life.                  #HighCountry #MYRGroup #Safety #ElectricalConstruction #ConstructionSafety
