On July 26, 2024 E-bike battery exploded in an elevator in China, as a result the man got bodu burning injury. This is not the first incident of a fire accident in a lift associated with an electric bike. In May 2021, five people including a five-month-old baby were injured after an e-bicycle exploded in an elevator in Southwest China. The incident prompted stringent bans on e-vehicles in elevators and residential buildings. Some elevators have also been installed with smart devices that will stop the lift when it detects an e-vehicle inside. Why do e-vehicles catch fire? According to Arjun Kolishetty, director, Ravi Firetech Safety Engineers Private Limited, Hyderabad, the lithium-ion batteries in the E-vehicles catch fire mainly due to heating issues. “When the battery gets heated, the temperature rises and a chain reaction occurs, causing an uncontrollable rise in temperature, leading to fire,” says Kolishetty. Kolishetty further says that it is difficult to extinguish lithium-ion fire with traditional fire extinguishers. A special type of fire extinguisher known as Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD) is used to douse lithium-ion battery fires. According to Uday Vijayan, managing trustee and president, Beyond Carlton, a fire safety community, bad wiring and poor quality electricals can lead to such mishaps. Attempts at cost saving and not adhering to standards can have hazardous consequences. “The owner should also ensure regular maintenance and servicing of the device,” adds Vijayan. Precautions to prevent E-vehicle fires Kolishetty lists some safety measures to reduce the incidents of electric vehicles blowing up: -Ensure that the e-vehicle is parked in shade, away from direct sunlight. -Ensure that the vehicle is properly ventilated to prevent overheating. -Use compatible charging stations and devices recommended by the manufacturer. -Avoid fully draining or charging the battery. Refrain from charging the device i-mmediately after riding/ driving it. Allow some time for the battery to cool down. -Keep a lithium-ion battery fire extinguisher or a lithium fire blanket in the vehicle’s boot space. #safetyfirst #accumulatorssafeservice #E-vehicles

Hook Inspection: A Rigger's Checklist Hooks are one of the most important pieces of rigging hardware. They are used to attach slings to loads and are a critical component in many lifting operations. It is important to inspect hooks carefully before using them to ensure that they are safe and in good condition. Here are some of the things to look for during a hook inspection: • Cracks: Cracks in the hook body can weaken the hook and make it unsafe to use. • Spreading of the hook throat: The hook throat is the opening in the hook where the sling is attached. If the hook throat is spread, the sling may slip out and the load could fall. • Safety latch is missing or not working properly: The safety latch is a small device that prevents the hook from opening when it is not in use. If the safety latch is missing or not working properly, the hook may open and the load could fall. • SWL is not clearly marked or damaged: The Safe Working Load (SWL) is the maximum weight that the hook can safely lift. If the SWL is not clearly marked or damaged, the hook may not be safe to use. If you find any defects in a hook, you should remove it from service and have it repaired or replaced. Here are some additional tips for inspecting hooks: • Inspect the hook carefully from all angles. • Use a flashlight to inspect the hook for hidden cracks or defects. • Check the hook for signs of wear and tear. • Make sure that the hook is not bent or distorted. By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your hooks are safe and reliable for use.

A near miss is an unplanned event that did not result in injury, illness, or damage but had the potential to do so. It serves as a warning that safety protocols might need improvement and emphasizes the importance of proactive hazard identification and risk mitigation. Identifying and addressing near misses can prevent future incidents and enhance workplace safety. #SafetyFirst #OilAndGas #NearMiss #WorkplaceSafety #RiskManagement #HazardPrevention #SafetyCulture #IncidentPrevention #HSE #EnergyIndustry

It's wonderfully said and true. Activities involving lifting have the potential to be fatal. Regretfully, we lack sufficient training for this type of workforce. Inspection and testing of lifting gears remain unclear. When it comes to safety, everyone tries to save money and time. In order to prevent the single vertical support on the vehicle platform, the load is elevated high. Making a detachable vertical support will make the task easier. JSA is crucial for both ordinary and irregular tasks. It's the safety officer's primary responsibility. Regards for sharing

This illustration was given to crews during Weekly Meeting. The simple aimed illustration on how mitigate the risks. I other hands, from this video shown that it is not about how danger a tasks to be done. Most of the time, Human Factors are the basic causes. Just like the cat triggering the danger it self. Simple words is: Safety Minded Lead by Example.

🇺🇲 👷🏽‍♂️ 🇬🇧 ⚠️ Working at Height ⚠️ Working at height is a common activity in several industries and involves considerable risks that need to be properly managed. Whether in critical tasks using #scaffold and rope access techniques, or in less complex tasks using a ladder, falls can result in serious or even fatal injuries. Industry statistics show that #accidents of this nature are one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities. Therefore, it is essential to identify and understand the associated #risks and implement effective preventive and control measures. 🚧🪜🚧 To mitigate these risks, some key considerations are very important: 🎯 • Work planning before starting any activity; ✅ • Proper Risk Identification and Assessment of the work; ✅ • Proper personnel Training; ✅ • Proper Evaluation and Preparation of the site where the work will be performed. ✅ We can also mention fall protection equipment and devices, the implementation of anchorage systems, and periodic inspections of equipment, which are crucial measures to ensure safety in W@H. 🚧🔧👷‍♂️ Besides that, promoting a strong #safetyculture where both leadership and subordinates, regardless of their position, actively participate in #HSE programs, feel responsible for their own safety and that of their colleagues, and demonstrate through their behavior a commitment to safety, making it a value. 💪🏽🥇 #Safety is the result of collective effort and constant dedication to accident prevention. Together, we can convert work environments into safer places.🏆 #safetyfirst #safetyculture #safetyprofessionals #ehs #scaffold #ssma #offshore #offshorelife #oilandgas #offshoreworking #osha

Reasons why OPERATOS are STUBBORN (1) Risk = during lifting processing all eyes are on operators , good, bad , accident or damage of property and life, operators bear the risk only, then to avoid any accident occurance, operators ensure that all safety rules are followed, because he new all lifting centres on him or her . ( 2) Experience = lifting involves a lot of acumen which operators drive, in the use joysticks, being outside of operators thinking makes operator like unqualified or Incompetent in his field of work , that's why operators pay attention to his rigger or environment and material is lifting than any thing else (3) cabin = once an operator is in a operator's cabin or a small house is like another world 🌎, pressure, spirit, mindset and atmosphere is quite different from outside world.

What goes wrong ? just skip to 45 seconds - Inadequate design of ladders for moving up. - Incorrect selection of work method (e.g., using a ladder when a scaffold or MEWP would be more appropriate). - Absence of a lifeline or other secondary protections. - Lack of maintenance and pre-inspection of ladders. - Failure to obtain a permit to work or conduct a risk assessment. - Ineffective use of PPE. - Absence of an anchor point for a safety belt. - Overloading of ladders (e.g., two people on a ladder). #hse_manager #reponsable_hse #hse_engineer #santé_sécurité_environnement
