IChemE 2nd regional safety seminar – Part I


I attended the above seminar on Monday, 14th July 2007. Interesting crowd, for once I felt that I was among my brethren of ChemEng.

  • Problem areas discovered during SAs.
    • Control of Safety Interlocks & Protective System Bypasses.
    • Inconsistent Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) application when used on non-electrical equipment.
    • Insufficient Pressure Relief Devices (PRD) performance evaluation.
  • Ensuring sustainability through monitoring and measurement

    Sorry for the long absence. Petronas is gaining quite a reputation, as the new styled management has turned a governmental type business to a coporate success.

    Not bad.
