Leading and Lagging Indicators in Safety Leading and lagging indicators both promote safety, but they are very different. Understanding the purpose of each will help you better protect your team. 💡 Leading indicators As it pertains to health and safety programs, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) defines leading indicators as “proactive, preventive, and predictive measures that provide information about the effective performance of your health and safety activities.” This includes issues that precede injuries, illnesses, and other safety incidents that highlight potential problems with your safety procedures. Used to create positive changes, leading indicators focus on preventative actions that can help workers avoid accidents. 💡 Lagging indicators The opposite of leading indicators, lagging indicators focus on safety incidents that happened in the past. Primarily used to highlight existing failures in your safety program, monitoring lagging indicators allows you to make positive changes, instead of letting the same hazards keep causing accidents. A good safety program should includes both leading and lagging indicators. The former promotes positive changes, while the latter measures the effectiveness of existing safety measures. #oil #LPG #safety #learning #safetyanalyse #leading #lagging #indicators #refinery #plant #facilities #piping #storage #tank #vessel #goodsafetyprogram #safeoperation #maintenance #inspection

EDITED: I had to delete the previous similar post due to some reasons. However, I have copied all the comments of the people who have contributed to this post. During a recent visit to a cement plant in the Middle East, I observed a maintenance crew lifting a lubricant oil drum to an elevated location using a belt and crane—a method that raises serious safety concerns and is clearly against HSE standards. This isn’t an isolated incident; similar unsafe practices are all too common in many plants, potentially leading to severe consequences. I’d like to hear your thoughts. Have you encountered similar safety risks? How does your team ensure compliance with HSE guidelines? Let's discuss how we can address and eliminate these hazards in our industry. #unsafeact

Exception to the Application of OSHA Lockout Tagout Standard: 29 CFR 1910.147 This Standard 1910.147(a)(2) does not apply to Normal production applications and special circumstances where the above conditions are met. ‘Under the exclusive control of the employee’ means that the authorized employee is able to prevent the equipment from becoming re-energized while its being serviced. The plug is under the exclusive control of the employee if: · It is physically in the hands of the employee’s possession · It is within the arm’s reach and in the employee’s line of sight If the cord extends beyond the reach of the servicing employee and the plug is out of sight, another employee might accidently restart the machine by plugging it in without realizing that the employee is exposed. The exemption also does not apply to ‘Hot tap operations’ (a procedure used to repair, maintain, and service activities which includes welding on a piece of equipment under pressure, in order to install connections) that involves transmission and distribution system for substances such as gas, steam, water or petroleum products passing through pressurized pipelines. Provided that: · Continuity of service is essential · Shut down of the system is impractical · Documented procedures are followed, and special equipment is used which will provide proven effective protection for employees.

when it comes to industrial production field settings one thing we must be mindful of is zero injury or accident no matter how much profit made, because no responsible industry will like to record injury or accident so for that reasons safety personnel are employed to over sees safety of the workers to avoid injury but as a field operator it is ur obligations to support the safety personnel by identifying the hazards within your area of operation to avoid accident especially near miss and unsafe conditions.can one identify the hazard attached in this picture below,this is a tracing steam line

🚨 What Went Wrong? 🚨 After aligning the drill pipe, the worker stayed standing right next to it, directly in the line of fire ⚠️—putting himself in serious danger. This is a critical safety mistake that could’ve led to a major accident. 💡 Key Reminder: Once you’re done handling the drill pipe, move quickly to a safe distance! This will help you avoid any unexpected movements or equipment hazards. Remember, safety doesn’t end when the job does—it’s about staying clear of risks at all times. ✅ Stay safe. ✅ Stay alert. ✅ Always follow the protocols. #SafetyFirst #DrillingSafety #OilAndGas #HSE #WorkplaceSafety

The animation of the explosion at PCA's DeRidder, Louisiana, Pulp and Paper Mill, as investigated by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB), highlights key recommendations to prevent similar incidents in the future. Key Recommendations from the PCA De Ridder Explosion Investigation: 1. Manage NCG Systems: Ensure proper design, monitoring, and venting of non-condensable gases (NCG) to prevent flammable gas buildup. Regularly review and audit systems. 2. Risk Assessments: Conduct thorough hazard identification, focusing on flammable gases, for both routine and non-routine operations. 3. Worker Training: Provide detailed training on NCG and flammable gas hazards, along with emergency response procedures. 4. Strengthen PSM: Enhance process safety management, especially for non-routine tasks, and regularly update safety protocols. 5. Mechanical Integrity: Implement rigorous inspections, maintenance, and corrosion control for NCG equipment. 6. Safety Systems: Integrate robust safety management systems and promote a strong safety culture. 7. Emergency Preparedness: Coordinate with local authorities and conduct regular emergency drills. 8. Explosion-Proof Equipment: Use explosion-proof systems where feasible to prevent catastrophic failures. By following these recommendations, facilities handling flammable gases and other hazardous materials can reduce the risk of similar incidents and ensure a safer working environment. The lessons learned from the PCA DeRidder explosion underscore the importance of proactive safety measures, ongoing risk management, and continuous improvement in safety practices. Let's prioritize safety and prevent future incidents! 🛡️ #ProcessSafety #IndustrialSafety #SafetyFirst #safetycourses #hse #safetytraining #healthandsafetytraining #safetyprofessionals #behaviouralsafety #safetyconsulting #safetytraining #safetyawarenes #safetyatwork #safetyfirst #safety #safetytips #workplacesafety #firesafety #managementsystem #safetycourses #hse #safetytraining #experttrainersacademy
