Have you heard of the 50-pace rule? One of the best pipeline safety tips, easy to remember, and simple to do 1. When you first arrive on site, each walk 50 paces in different directions from the digging location whilst keeping a lookout for pipeline markers 2. If you find one, stop work onsite immediately and report it to your supervisor or the pipeline operator (contact details can usually be found on the post) 3. Once the pipeline has been assessed, work can resume Don't forget the 50-pace rule - it might just save someone's life #healthyandsafety #worksafe

Why do I always feel like I’m sitting on top of a hole!?! Whether you’re an entrant, a rescuer, safety watch, or the site supervisor; every role during a confined space entry is an essential role. Every role is responsible for keeping everyone safe and ensuring everybody makes it home at the end of the day. Work together to make confined spaces safe spaces. #ConfinedSpace #SafetyFirst #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork

I've just finished an afternoon long meeting with a new engineering client and their end client discussing how we're going to be supporting them with their Confined Space Works on a large project starting in the new financial year in Sussex. The reason for this post is down to utter shock on how the previous contractor carried out their confined space working and the provisions put in place for safety! We started by reviewing the previous project, revealing some glaring safety and procedural issues the previous contractor had been involved in. To list a few; No permit to work system in place! Poor Classification of the areas designated confined spaces on their site! No tested emergency plan in place! No entry/exit logs! Only 1 member of staff on site to cover any rescues (despite multiple entrants and entries)! Very basic equipment on site, untested gas monitors, escape sets designated for rescue (some out of test date)! No proper first aid training for the person apparently in charge of rescue! Poorly written RAMS, clearly copied and pasted from another site! That was just a snapshot of a long list of breaches noted. Had they'd been audited, or there'd been an accident, the site would most definitely been shut down and a major investigation would of taken place, leading to convictions, fines and all sorts. Do not chance safe confined space working, speak to competent professionals if you have any doubts. #saferworking #confinedspacerescue #confinedspacesupport (this has been posted with agreement of both my client, and theirs)

With over 40 years of recruiting experience, we have accumulated a lot of wonderful stories.    Here is one that is endearing as it is humorous. Working in the construction industry, we sometimes take a few things for granted. Once we had a candidate that was interviewing for a Superintendent position at a fairly large electrical contractor. It was a significant step up for him as the company he had grown with was quite a bit smaller.    In the interview prep, we suggested he wear a suit, as that was the customary attire at the time for the company and it was always better to be overdressed than underdressed.    Well, he wore a suit to the interview, but it was a rented tuxedo if you can believe it. While we were debriefing him, he told us how embarrassed he was and wanted to make a good impression.    Also, given his recent relocation from Eastern Europe and limited familiarity with local cultural norms, it became clear that the situation wasn’t as egregious as it initially appeared.    After being taken aback a bit initially, the company realized the innocence of what happened and brought him on board where he excelled for a number of years.    Occasionally, it's impossible to anticipate every possible scenario, but when you have the right candidate with the right motivation, things generally fall into place.    Kimmel & Associates #kimmel #recruiting #stories
