The heart of any safety commitment from an organization must come from the leadership. The leadership must create a culture that places an enduring value and priority on safety by everyone at every level of the organization.

Since the selection and application of safety-related coatings in commercial US nuclear power plants began in the early 1950's, many changes have occurred in coatings technology, industry understanding of the performance of coatings in the nuclear plant environment, and regulatory oversight of these coatings.
This paper summarizes environmental health and safety compliance issues as they relate to coatings projects. It summarizes control measures that should be taken to protect employees from exposure to agents such as silica, methylene chloride, n-methyl 2 pyrolidone, lead, and asbestos. Best practices are discussed. This information is taken from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
Refinery operations, characterized by significant process complexities, have traditionally remained as a domain where accurate asset integrity and life prediction have been difficult to achieve. Such difficulty stems from the need to characterize and manage corrosion across different critical process units and parameters; quantifying corrosion has thus become a key factor in ensuring asset integrity, and absence of appropriate corrosion management strategies has often been the cause of some of the most destructive and expensive corrosion failures. Managing corrosion in refineries is a complex task, given the engineering intricacies associated with the processes and operations.
For almost two decades, organizations supporting the ironworker’s industry have sought constructive solutions to improve the footing for ironworkers during erection of structural steel. This issue, specifically as it relates to the coatings industry, is the loss of traction between the ironworker’s footwear and the coated steel beam, and the potential for the worker of falling to their death as a result of slipping on wet or damp coated steel beam surfaces.
The Optically Active Pigmented (OAP) coatings inspection process was developed by NAVSEA around 2004 to increase the speed and accuracy of tank coatings inspections. In an OAP inspection, violet LED inspection lights illuminate special tank coatings that fluoresce to increase the contrast between coated and uncoated steel.
Global Environmental Regulations have driven many coatings developments over the last decades. Today´s regulations around worker safety and environment protection are seen as important drivers in new product development. More recently such regulations are spreading widely, as people want to live on a planet where everyone can enjoy a better quality of life, breathe clean air, where rivers and oceans are preserved, and the impact of humans on wildlife is reduced.
It is well known that fall hazards are one of the most common causes of accidents, injuries and death in the workplace including industrial painting projects. Many of these falls occur when using ladders. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for example, in 2009 20% of fatal falls in all workplaces were from ladders. OSHA estimates that there are 24,882 injures, with nearly half of those injuries serious enough to result in lost work time, and 36 fatalities every year.
The topic of lead is as relevant today as it has ever been.
联合表面处理标准 扫砂级喷砂清理 Requirements for "Brush-Off" - one of five levels of cleanliness of steel surfaces achieved by blast cleaning with the use of abrasives. (White Metal, Near-White Metal, Commercial, Industrial, Brush Off)
When it was time for a major fertilizer distribution facility in the Midwest to have its conveyor structure repainted, the owner started contemplating full-time independent third-party inspection. After reviewing the contractor’s schedule and the size of the crew, it became apparent that this approach would interfere with the contractor’s operations and be cost prohibitive for the owner.
This annual paper summarizes environmental, health and safety issues that may impact SSPC members. This paper discusses current and expected EPA and OSHA regulatory rulemaking, emphasis programs, enforcement initiatives or other similar topics. This paper will include a review of OSHA’s expected final standards on confined space in construction and silica and other proposed or revised regulations related to the coatings industry. Most of the information is taken directly from the respective agency’s published regulatory agenda, supplemented by anecdotal information gathered from various professional journals, seminars, and conferences.
