Confined Space, What Can Go Wrong?

FACT:Rescue crews will not attempt a rescue until the scene is safe for their own personnel to respond.

Just because you put yourself in that unsafe situation doesn’t mean they will.

Air Monitoring

• LEL <10%• Oxygen 19.5%-23.5%• CO <25ppm• H2S <10ppm

Always test before making entry!

Continuous air monitoring throughout!

Confined Space By The NumbersFeet deep or greater requires a tripod+winch retrieval systempositions (Entrant, Attendant, Supervisor) which can be done by different people

Use an air monitorLevels are in alarm, clear the atmosphere with an air mover, re-test

Barricading Your Work Zone

Buddy BaylissPresidentBC&C LLC

We all tend to focus on the task at hand...

Focused on his work a little too muchNo situational awareness

Situational awareness is a good thing!

Safety is all about seeing the Hazards

What is a Barricade?

“Barricade” came to English via the Middle French “barricade”—though

some sources say the Spanish “barricada” is earlier. Regardless, both

are from Vulgar Latin “Barrica” or “barrel.”

The English word “barrel” is directly from the Old French baril“barrel, cask, vat.”

From “Useless Etymology”

For our purposes, a Barricade is:

“A free standing, self supporting physical structure that will increase visibility or prevent a person from

proceeding beyond that point.”

Barricading ConsiderationsWhat are the likely potential hazards?

- Goal of your work?- Do you need visibility, a barrier or both?- Pedestrian traffic, vehicular traffic or both?- Site specific considerations

– (open forecourt vs. a closed site)- Size of the area? - Site Owner/Operator considerations.

– (Be prepared to push back and explain why)

Lots of available tools!

The more visible you are, the less chance you’ll be accidentally struck or run over.

By Barricading, we’re raising the Situational Awareness

of those around us.

In doing so, we protect our people.

Use your vehicles to help block the area

Vehicle blocking the most likely approach with visible barricades on the other

three sides

Vehicles blocking two likely threat directions and increased visibility

with cones and bars

Adding visibility with pennants!

What about Large Vehicles?

Anticipate the Hazard and “Up-size” the Barricading

Visibility & Safety within a larger site...

Make your work area YOURS!Delineate the work area

Remember, Safety is all about seeing the Hazards, understanding those hazards and

neutralizing those hazards.

This comes from a personal commitment, training and education for you and your people, the right equipment and an on-

going focus through leadership.

Are you up to speed on your Safety Manual & Training?

- Safety Manual ... and the training to make it real.- OSHA 10 & 30? First Aid, AED & CPR? Fall Protection?- Confined Space (respirator use/tng, med exam)- Equipment Operator Training - Monthly meetings and daily “tailgate” briefs?- Personal Protective Equipment...is it used?- A Company and personal commitment?- Make use of the PEI Safety program.

DISTRACTED DRIVING

kills 9 people every day and injures more than 1000

causes more crashes than drunk driving

Teen DD crashes are 3x the rate of any other age group

WORRIED ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN AND DISTRACTED DRIVING?

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for our children

More than 50% of teen crashes are caused by distraction

“My mom tells me not to drive distracted but she does it all the time…I guess you could say she is a hypocrite.”
