The purpose of a safe haven, blast-resistant-building, or shelter-in-place is to keep you safe. At a facility, such as a processing plant, a chemical release or blast can cause severe health effects.
A safe haven or refuge chamber is a sealed environment, in which you can take shelter during a hazardous event when evacuation is not possible.
Shelter-in-Place (SIP) is used in emergency response actions plans and refers to the process of taking refuge by staying indoors and sealing your environment.
A blast-resistant building (BRB) is a reinforced structure designed to reduce harm to personnel and equipment in an accidental or deliberate explosion.
Health and safety risks of chlorine gas can occur during professional or personal use. Widely used in manufacturing and industrial applications, chlorine gas can become a severe hazard if accidental release, leaks, or transportation incidents occur. Knowing what chlorine is, as well as its health and safety risks is critical.
Investigating a practical approach to compressed air use can save sites significant energy, resulting in financial and environmental benefits.
One way to overcome downtime is through implementing a remote monitoring system into a company’s existing maintenance, repair and operational programs.
Common misconceptions about refuge chamber servicing answered.
