A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is a critical component in industrial processes used to prevent or mitigate hazardous events. It consists of sensors, logic solvers, and final control elements designed to respond to potentially dangerous situations automatically. SIS ensures that processes remain within safe operating limits and can take appropriate actions to bring the system to a safe state if necessary. It is vital in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, nuclear, and others where safety is paramount.I share with you ''SIL Manual '' SAFETY INSTRUMENTED SYSTEM Manual forPlant Engineering and Maintenance With reference to IEC 61508 Standard for Functional Safety of Electrical / Electronic / Programmable Electronic Safety-Related Systems and IEC 61511 Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industry

CLOSE PROXIMITY RADIOGRAPHY(CPR) INSPECTION SERVICESCPR (Close Proximity Radiography), also known as SCAR (Small Controlled Area Radiography), is a revolutionary technique in radiation technology. It allows for radiographic inspections to be conducted with minimal restrictions and in close proximity to other trades and processes without affecting critical sensor systems.CPR offers a range of benefits for industrial facilities, including the ability to perform inspections 24/7, minimize exposure for rope access technicians, and safely monitor nearby processes that utilize nuclear gauges or require UV flame detectors. This innovative approach to radiographic testing helps to reduce the need for restrictive shooting windows, minimize plant shutdowns, and improve efficiency and safety during inspections.The reduced zone of influence and repeatable setup geometries provided by CPR also make it easier to obtain hot work permits, a key requirement for most plant safety managers. In addition, CPR helps to reduce the costs and risks associated with industrial inspections, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications.In conclusion, CPR (Close Proximity Radiography) is a versatile and efficient solution for radiographic testing, offering numerous advantages over traditional methods and helping to ensure that inspections are conducted safely and efficiently.

Errors are broadly classified into active and latent errors. Active error is the actual event that results in harm/causes catastrophe e,g. pressing the wrong button on a process plant which causes the negative event. Latent errors are the ones inherent in the system (system design, administrative decisions, quality of equipment and supplies, etc.). Colleagues should always be reminded how important it is to report issues in the construction stage as the consequences later, could be devastating.This is one of the nuclear industry’s main focus points and we can all benefit from our workers having a questioning attitude towards safety. We promote this in Omega, NO jobs is that important that it cannot be completed safety. Colleagues must alway feel empowered to ‘Stop Work’ and speak to their line supervisor/manager on safety/quality grounds. However, there are two sides to every coin and they will be in the best position to advise on how the task can be completed safely with support from their management team so not to cause harm to them, their colleagues, others or risk to their employer. Work Safe, Home Safe! #errorhandling #omega #safetyculture #behaviouralsafety #sheqman

ISO 20816 is a series of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards that provide guidelines for the measurement, evaluation, and acceptance criteria of vibrations in rotating machinery. The ISO 20816 series consists of several parts, each focusing on specific aspects of vibration measurement and assessment.The ISO 20816 standards are widely used in industries such as power generation, oil and gas, petrochemicals, manufacturing, and transportation. They help engineers, technicians, and maintenance personnel ensure the reliable operation and performance of rotating machinery by monitoring and analyzing vibration levels.Here are some key parts of the ISO 20816 series:ISO 20816-1:2016: This part provides general guidelines for the measurement and evaluation of vibration in various types of rotating machinery over a wide range of operating conditions. It covers both broad- and narrow-band measurement techniques and specifies the types of vibration to be measured, measurement locations, and measurement uncertainties.ISO 20816-2:2017: This part focuses on land-based steam turbines and generators in power plants. It provides specific guidelines for vibration measurement and evaluation, including acceptance criteria, for these types of machinery.ISO 20816-3:2009: This part deals with industrial gas turbines, particularly those used in power generation and mechanical drive applications.

Piping Technology & Products designed these hydraulic snubbers for an ammonia plant in Louisiana. The snubbers ranged in length from 31" up to 148" pin-to-pin and cylinder diameters from 2.5" to 5". They are designed for an operating load ranging from 3,000 lb. to 15,400 lb. and have a 5" to 12" stroke. Hydraulic snubbers are designed to protect the piping system when a sudden, heavy load is applied (such as an earthquake of high intensity), which can cause serious vibrations leading to damage and possible failure of the piping system.Most hydraulic snubbers have a piston which is relatively unconstrained in motion at low displacement rates. At high displacement rates the piston "locks up", that is, the force required to move the piston increases substantially, usually as a result of the closing of a valve.Hydraulic snubbers are used in many applications and are typically needed urgently in operational facilities. We have provided these products in all major verticals including refining, petrochemical, renewables, and power operations.. Our hydraulic snubbers are built in accordance with ASME Boiler and pressure vessel code and our Laconia, New Hampshire operations have ASME Nuclear Stamp "NS" for nuclear applications.This Thursday, you are cordially invited to attend our complimentary webinar presentation session as we take a look at Shock Control, Restraint & Support Devices Webinar. This presentation will explore the various applications of snubbers, sway braces and sway struts in piping systems and equipment.

From NDT and Nuclear sites to P6 plans and collecting pots full of pee… there’s not a lot I haven’t done! So here’s just a few!Most satisfying: ☢️ ALARA Engineer Assistant - (It was a real title, I promise) Collecting dose accruals from divers going into the vessel, ensuring all divers stayed under set limits, making plans for when radiation hotspots were found and liased with the shift planners to ensure nobody was sent into the vessel nearing their dose limit. Why most satisfying? Because I had to use the most beautiful spreadsheet I’ve ever seen in my life! Strangest: 💧 Seeing 50 shades of pee whilst carrying out D&A tests as part of the induction process for some of the biggest outages… not the nicest 😅Most rewarding: 📑 Changing the process for NDT reporting for all parties involved. Making the process more efficient, less time consuming and saving the client moohlah!Scariest: 😱 Marking up boiler tubes on what seemed like 600 levels of scaffolding… it’s fair to say heights are not my thing!Timekeeping, planning, estimating, cost control… the list continues! But having knowledge and experience in many different areas is why I’m able to support my clients with so many different tasks, not just your standard admin!Needing a little business support? I can help! (Aslong as heights aren’t involved 🤣) 🌎 www.haighva.co.uk📧 katie@haighva.co.uk📱 DM! P.S - What’s the strangest and scariest tasks you’ve ever had to complete?
