Alerts & Learnings

Engagement Moment - A divided opinion of risk

  • Cleaning and blasting on live hydrocarbon-containing lines
  • Concern that the enclosure prevented natural ventilation and allowed the potential for an explosive gas mixture
  • Concern was raised through the normal company channels but workers felt the issue was not sufficiently addressed. It escalated to a complaint by a Si971 safety rep to the HSE
  • HSE inspectors visited the installation and the complaint was upheld. All work stopped in the enclosed area
  • The safety rep’s actions were praised by the operator and the HSE
