As the lighting cover falls off the ceiling, I was wondering how such an incident would be handled in the oil and gas industry:
- Filling out a near miss incident report.
- Reading out the incident in the morning meeting.
- Incorporate any lessons learnt about the incident (redundancy? Better designed support bars?).
- Tabulated in whatever incident database exists, to be inserted into the yearly HSE report.
At the office what happens is:
- Building maintenance comes round, re-installs the light (matter of a push, and pressing the spring loaded tongues in), leaves.
- No lessons learnt
Did I say that the same thing had happened a month ago? Different light fixture.
-
- Lighting fixture falling off
-
- Lighting fixture – hanging loose
