THE RELEVANCE OF CODES AND STANDARDS IN SAFETY AND SECURITY ENGINEERING

In a bid to understand high level engineering professionalism, I have come to understand safety to be an integral part of conceptual, detailed design as well as implementation of engineered systems. As a design engineer, codes and standards forms the bedrock of it all and the compliance benchmarks to which such systems are measured.

SAFEGUARDING THE WAREHOUSE FOR SAFETY AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY

Recently, occupational pressures and fears of safety concerns in critical operational facilities have increased over the past decades. In Nigeria, the work environment is getting precarious for businesses in different sectors as they are daily exposed to worsening safety situations.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH AND SAFETY IN MANUFACTURING

The Truth of the matter is that nobody needs to get injured while at work, and nobody needs to be answerable for another person getting injured Not-withstanding, truly accidents do occur in the work environment, and individuals do get injured, especially in working environments where there is a higher danger of injury, for example, inside the manufacturing business. Notwithstanding, that doesn’t imply that you would prefer not to attempt to guarantee that you forestall all accidents.

AVERTING INCESSANT ROAD ACCIDENTS

Road safety is critical to the socioeconomic agenda of nations across the world. The world wide cost of road traffic is estimated to be U$518 billion annually.  This impact has emerged as a significant safety concern where its occurrence on each passing day leads to the untimely end of valuable human and material resources. It is tiring to express that road safety is a timely critical move that must be urgently fixed and wholly addressed.

THE URGENT NEED FOR POLLUTION CONTROL

The consequences of environmental pollution is visible in severe. In recent times the world is grappling with and chronic deadly diseases; the destruction of aquatic life (both flora and fauna) has damaged the natural habitat of man and some precious irreplaceable wildlife as the world keeps getting warmer and hotter, continuous depletion of soil quality has greatly altered food production (quality and quantity), depletion of earth resources has resulted to deterioration of life cycle and expectancy and opened the door for other calamities like earthquakes, cyclones, flooding to wreck our world. Evidently, all of these have caused irreplaceable damage to humankind.

THE HSE PERSPECTIVE OF THE EBEANO SUPERMARKET FIRE OUTBREAK

From the standpoint of NFPA 101, the occupancy type (mercantile) and loading of shopping malls directly make them a high hazardous area as the majority of the items stored are some sort of fuels and inflammable materials, alongside, the oxygen-rich environment and the high traffic of buyers in them. And even with the recent E-commerce trends, some malls have installed data centers for ease of transaction processes. All these considerations make malls a location with a potentially high fire-hazard classification area. With this knowledge of the fire hazard classifications of malls, HSE policies such as RTNs, hazardous signals, age-limit restrictions, appropriate demarcation for highly inflammable materials are to be incorporated into malls to ultimately reduce the risk of damages to HSE and assets, ensuring compliance to standards and regulatory requirements.

TECHNICAL SAFETY AND SAFETY EXCELLENCE TODAY

Owing to the increasing cases of catastrophic and deadly events across the world, there is the need to change the narrative;
Process safety among many other values sustains economic prosperity and environmental sustainability. This is through periodic assessment and instalment of prevention equipment and personnel. It is agreed that technical process and safety impacts people, communities, asset and environment (McLennan, 2018).
It also strengthens inter- sectoral harmony. As a multi-disciplinary approach, it brings professionals of different fields and synergizes a union dedicated safety and technical performance. This collaborative potential enhances a fusion of safety excellence and bond of technical excellence within stakeholders (Shariff, 2017) .
Technical process safety hinders major catastrophes from happenings (injuries and fatalities) and promote safe workforce (people and equipment). The entire process seeks to attain safety and loss of viable economic and productivity resources.

FACILITY LAYOUT AND ITS BENEFITS

Every project is totally different, starting from the square footage and design to the content and production happening within. You can take into consideration these factors while planning an in-depth facility layout for your building project or warehouse. That way, the layout is going to be custom-built to satisfy your precise wants.

ENERGY SAVING ALTERNATIVES FOR CLEAN AGENT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS

Energy conservation is very paramount in all technological systems and solutions. Energy costs can consume large budgetary costs over the lifecycle of products, and contribute significantly to carbon emissions. This reminds us that energy considerations are important in the design, execution, and use of products. Energy efficiency is possible with technological solutions like clean agent fire suppression systems.
