Many times power plants rent scaffolding for routine maintenance. Renting or leasing for semi-permanent or longer-term applications has many disadvantages and some are just downright UNSAFE if not installed correctly. Not the least of which is that scaffolding must be reinspected and re-certified on a regular basis. Sometimes creating timely delays and costly fines if not performed on time.

Whether located inside or outside, conveyor belts can hinder operational efficiency and create significant safety concerns. Depending on the configuration, workers may be required to walk long distances to get around a conveyor belt. Others may attempt to climb over the conveyor belt, resulting in serious or even fatal injuries.

Industrial work platforms are a great solution for optimizing tight workspaces by taking advantage of vertical space. They also give maintenance workers access to equipment, minimize slips and falls, and provide greater visibility of manufacturing floors and assembly areas.

Maintenance workers who service and repair equipment on rooftops often encounter a variety of obstacles. For instance, pipes, utility lines, and ducts that may span a portion or the entire length of a roof. Workers typically attempt to get around these obstacles by climbing over or under them. This combined with the constant exposure to the elements can make navigating rooftops incredibly dangerous.

Points of ingress and egress into equipment rooms often feature an awkward and potentially dangerous step.

Custom crossover stair installation

Industrial facilities, such as fertilizer plants, can be treacherous for workers who have to navigate the often uneven and dangerous landscape. However, by installing access stairs throughout the facility, you can reduce the risks posed to your employees and improve worker safety.

Maintenance workers often encounter a broad range of obstacles when navigating rooftops to access equipment. For instance, pipes, ducts, and utility lines. But some configurations pose even greater challenges and safety risks.

Entering or exiting an equipment room can be cumbersome and potentially dangerous. Workers are typically required to step up or down through an elevated doorway. When there are no steps or anything to hold onto, workers, especially those carrying equipment, can fall.

To ensure the safety of workers, natural gas operations should have a robust system of emergency shutoff valves (ESVs) in place and ensure that they are properly maintained and tested on a regular basis. Workers should also be trained on the location and use of ESVs and understand the importance of activating them in the event of an emergency.

Worker safety is the priority of any industry, but not all know that crossover stairs and pipelines can play a dual role in helping to keep everyone safe. Both of these must be utilized correctly in order to maximize their effectiveness.

The natural gas industry is abuzz over work platforms’ role in ensuring safety. No one likes a dangerous situation, after all! And while they might not look pretty, these platforms are essential to gaining access to shut-off valves and metering skid systems without risks of falling. After all, when it comes to natural gas production, the name of the game is safety first!

Shut-off valves are essential for natural gas installations because natural gas is a volatile substance that needs to be handled with extreme care. Shut-off valves help ensure the safe operation and shut down of natural gas systems during normal operations or emergencies, reducing the risk of accident and injuries.
