Sea Spills
An oil spill is a form of marine pollution that occurs when any type of oil spills into an open body of water. The oil floats on the water surface as a discrete mass. As it contains many toxic compounds, an oil spill can harm the biotic and abiotic components of the environment where it takes place.
Shipyard Safety
Ship-repairing is a inherently hazardous operation. Operating conditions require working with inflammable liquids, paint and cleaning solvents, slip and trip hazards, on-board liquids. Special Safety Requirements and Documentation of a Safety System are required.(OCIMF GUIDANCE NOTES)
Energy Plants
Energy resources bring with them great social and economic promise, providing financial growth for communities and energy services for local economies. However, the infrastructure which delivers energy services can break down in an energy accident, sometimes causing considerable damage.
Road Spills
Oil spills in roads refer to the accidental release of oil or petroleum products onto road surfaces. This can happen due to vehicle accidents, mechanical failures, or improper handling of oil containers during transportation. Spilled oil can contaminate the surface, soil, and even enter nearby water bodies, causing pollution and ecological harm.
Oil Refineries
There is a danger of explosion when working with hazardous chemicals. As such, every precaution must be taken to protect workers. Understanding the common causes of refinery explosions helps workers, supervisors, and government agencies like OSHA refine their practices and safety procedures to prevent future incidents.
Gas Stations
Being a hazardous public space, accidents that occur at fuel stations might cause harm to people. Not only workers but also members of the community who happen to be in the vicinity of the accident site. Facts show the importance of studying and analyzing fuel station accidents.
Engine Area Spills
Engine room fires are a major hazard on merchant ships. They can cause significant damage to the ship, endanger the crew and lead to costly delays. Reasearches found that between 30% and 50% of all fires on merchant ships originate in the engine room and, of those fires, 70% are caused by oil leaks.
Industrial Needs
Industrial spilling can be described as the accidental release of hazardous substances into the environment in gas, liquid or solid form. The risk of spilling occurring when managing chemicals is high as they are often corrosive, toxic and because of their reactive nature – often explosive as well.
Machine Shops
Machine shop injuries are a significant concern in various settings, including workplaces, construction sites, and even homes. Understanding the risks associated with machinery operation is crucial for both individuals and employers to ensure personal safety and prevent accidents. Proactive measures need to be taken.
