Fatality Potential: Chemical Line Break
Consider this potential injury from What Went Wrong?
An out-of-service pipeline was marked with chalk at the point where it was to be cut. Before the mechanic could start work, a heavy rain washed off the chalk mark. The mechanic “remembered” where the chalk mark had been. He was found cutting his way with a hacksaw through a line containing a hazardous chemical.
What could be done to prevent an incident like this from happening in your department?
