DID YOU KNOW

COMPATIBILITY IS A KEY
PART OF CHEMICAL SAFETY.
You’ve probably heard the old phrase that oil and water don’t mix.
The fact is, there are many chemicals in our industry that must not
be used or stored together.

Combining incompatible chemicals, or storing them in too close proximity


to each other, can result in adverse reactions such as the release of
toxic, corrosive, or flammable vapors and liquids, excessive heat
generation, even explosions. With some chemicals, exposure to air or
water might even trigger such reactions.

Don’t make decisions you’ve not been trained to make. Don’t do


something now that might be harmful later. Use your authority through
the management of change and stop work processes to correct a
situation you view as potentially being harmful. When it comes to
chemicals, ask the experts.

DID YOU KNOW
WHEN YOU’RE TRYING TO GET
SOMEWHERE, IT’S SAFEST TO
KNOW AND SHARE BEFORE YOU GO.
Got a vehicle trip coming up? Don’t just drive it. Manage it.
Tell your friends, family, or co-workers where you’re going,
the route you’re taking, and when you plan to arrive.
Get information in advance on the upcoming weather and
how that might affect road conditions and travel time.
On the road, if your vehicle becomes disabled, stay with it.
Use a cell phone to call for help, or use a GPS to provide
your location. The more planning you do in advance, the
more likely you are to have a safe and successful journey.

DID YOU KNOW
CARELESS MANAGEMENT
OF CHANGE CAN CRIPPLE YOU.

Many HSE incidents–and business financial losses–are


directly related to the uncontrolled or poor management
of a minor or major workplace change.
What constitutes a workplace change that may well require
a Management of Change (MOC) directive? It’s changes to,
or the introduction of, different chemicals, equipment,
critical suppliers, facilities, products, processes, and
operations. Even new key personnel.
If you see change, don’t ignore it. Managing any size
change–and doing it right–is the smart, safe thing to do.

DID YOU KNOW
SAFETY IS NOT ONLY ABOUT
TAKING PRECAUTIONS, IT’S ALSO
ABOUT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.
There’s a catch phrase that’s being heard more and more these
days. “See it. Own it.” That phrase is particularly applicable to safety.
If you see an unsafe situation, or even a potentially unsafe situation,
don’t just walk away. Take responsibility for getting it corrected.
Whether it’s in the office, while you’re traveling, or at the work site,
wherever you see something that you believe is unsafe, or could lead
to an adverse incident, speak up. If it’s unsafe to actually do
something about it yourself, keep others out of the unsafe zone and
contact your supervisor.
Think how you’d feel if you did nothing, then heard later that
someone was injured.

DID YOU KNOW
‘IT’S NOT THE HEAT, IT’S THE
HUMIDITY’, IS MORE THAN A
CLICHÉ, IT’S A DANGER SIGNAL.
It’s true that when you sweat, perspiration evaporates and actually
helps cool the body. But if you’re working in an environment that’s
both hot and humid, that humidity can actually reduce the degree
to which the body can lose heat by evaporation. The harder it is
to cool off, the easier it is to suffer a heat related illness.

Wearing light, loose-fitting clothes, such as cotton and light colors,


can help. But it’s best to keep the basics in mind, too, like wearing
a proper hat to keep the sun off your head and neck.

Drink lots of water to stay hydrated. And if you’re doing strenuous


work, take breaks often to cool down.

DID YOU KNOW
THE BEST WAY IN
IS NOT ALWAYS
THE BEST WAY OUT.
Sometimes safety is about quickly getting away from an
unsafe situation. That’s why it pays to know your exits.
Chances are you’re aware of the exits from your home or
your workplace. But what about the stores where you
shop, the public buildings you enter, the venues you take
your family to, or the hotels where you stay?
Get in the habit of always locating the emergency exit
wherever you are. If you know exactly where to go,
you’ll get there a lot quicker.

DID YOU KNOW
YOU NEED TO GO ON OFFENSE TO
DEFEND AGAINST MALARIA.
Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite passed from one
human to another by the bite of infected mosquitoes. It’s
dangerous. Sometimes deadly. If you’re traveling to an
area where malaria is a factor, take preventive medications.
Depending on the type of medication prescribed, you may
need to begin taking it anywhere from one day to two weeks
prior to departure. But prevention doesn’t end there.

While “in country”, you should try to avoid mosquito bites


by wearing protective clothing over arms and legs, using
screens on windows, as well as applying insect repellent.
You may even need to continue medications for a month or
so after your trip. Check with your physician to be sure.
Better safe, than sorry.

DID YOU KNOW
SOMETIMES THE MOST
IMPORTANT WORK YOU CAN
DO IS TO STOP WORKING.
If you’re working and you see a process that is not being followed
correctly, or if you notice at-risk behavior going on, take the
initiative and call a quick time-out. Then confer with your
workmates to make sure everyone knows the safe way to continue.
Executing Stop Work Authority to right safety wrongs and
catch potential unsafe action before it actually happens is not
only responsible, it’s also effective. In fact, in the oil and gas
industry, it’s been one of the most successful approaches to
safety in the last decade.
Empower the people around you. Encourage them to watch for
unsafe conditions or processes, and when it’s necessary, stop the
job until it can be done safely.

DID YOU KNOW
YOU’RE NOT JUST RESPONSIBLE
FOR WHERE YOU ARE, BUT ALSO
FOR WHERE YOU’VE BEEN.
That’s particularly important when you’re working at heights. In
addition to taking precautions while you’re working, you have to be
mindful of how you leave the worksite.

Items blown by the wind or jarred loose can cause damage to


property and people. Make sure no loose objects are left behind
after you’ve completed your work. Check your area before you
check out.
