RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION, OPERATION

AND MAINTENANCE OF AIR CANNONS
Initiate or verify the LOTOTO procedure for air cannons
Read entire Manufacturers installation manual before

beginning any work and check for compliance
Initiate inspection and maintenance program as per
Manufacturers recommendation (monthly and yearly)
Inspect all discharge valves and remove cracked valves

out of service immediately
Initiate replacement of all old-design discharge valves

with re-enforced valves, and use the latter in any new
installation.
Limit the stress on the valve by mounting the tanks in

the most vertical position with short extensions
On hot application air cannons, install Air Cannon

Thermo Safety Shields
Inspect all restraining cables and replace if worn or
incorrectly installed. Check cable sizing with air cannon
manufacturer.
Minimize compressed CO2 blasts in the direct vicinity of
air cannons
If compressed CO2 blasts are used near air cannons,
slide gates must be installed to isolate the air cannons
from CO2 blast
Establish a safety zone and route around operating air
cannons
Train ALL employees on the hazards of air cannons
and these types of failures
Revise site-specific training to ensure this training is
provided to visitors and contractors

fell on top of a forklift truck while being driven by an operator at the Frampton site. The buckets were on a pallet on the top shelf of storage racking. The operator
was removing a pallet from the shelf below and as he was reversing the top of the vertical back rest on the fork lift truck lifted the cross bar of the storage shelf.
The shear bolt activated allowing the wooden shelf to drop causing the top two layers of buckets to topple downwards onto the roof of the FLT. The drivers
immediate reaction was to get out of the FLT, but as he was wearing his seatbelt he remained in the cab. The driver was unhurt due to the protective cage.

the pile. The operator was wearing his seatbelt and the dozer was equipped with a Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS). The operator was not injured. He stayed
inside the enclosed cab until help arrived. The dozer sustained limited damage. The repair cost was approximately $35,000 resulting in 3 weeks of downtime.

rescue, victim was dragged out from the chute but died while transporting to hospital.

;
All confined space activities are performed by

trained persons, after duly taking the permit
for working in a confined space.

Risk Assessments are done based on sequence of

activities.
Hazards are identified based on job steps.
Risk level are evaluated based on probability of

occurrence and severity
Specific control measures are evaluated based on

hierarchy of control, i.e. elimination, substitution /
isolation, engineering and administrative controls. PPE is
the last control identified.

Control measures are clear and specific to the

hazard and consequence identified in the

audit/observation of correct way of filling up of
forms done, periodically.
No visible evidence to show that toolbox

meetings are being held regularly.
Risk assessment being done only for

select major jobs, not for all tasks
(regardless of routine, non-routine, major
and minor).
Risk Assessment
10 risk assessments are selected per month & is reviewed

by a taskforce team (comprising representatives from
maintenance, production, safety, etc.) to brainstorm and
enhance the quality of those risk assessments.
Toolbox meeting held regularly
Inspections
; Inspections- visual walkabout focused on:
; Housekeeping
; Equipment condition
(e.g. Tools, Cylinders, Pipes, Hoists etc.)
; Working environment
(e.g. lighting, ventilation, cleanliness).
; Should cover Contractor Equipments as well.

; Guided checklist or informal.
; Can be planned or unplanned.
; Should take place on a regular basis.
; Reported findings should be acted with timeline of completion.
; Visible records of Inspections.
; Participation of Line Management & Supervisors is Key.

Inspection Safety Observation

;
:
:
:
Supervisors not fully participating in H&S

inspection
Senior management not consistently doing
H&S observations.
Inspections are focused on operations
issues. Safety & improvement of site
standards gets a lower priority.
No periodic safety specific patrol, to
capture
issues
like
house
keeping,
spillages, missing railings & guarding, loose
electrical wiring, unsafe behaviors.
No
proper
tracking/Monitoring
of
observation result per Department /
section of the plant.
Inspections are noted and reviewed by

the team for proper action

ATC Guideline - Laboratory Safety 5.4.3.4 - Gas Cylinders

Individual gases should be kept securely in separate bays outside the laboratory. Gas cylinders should be used inside the
laboratory only under exceptional circumstances, because they present a real danger in the event of a fire, whether they are
empty or full. The size of cylinders temporarily used in the laboratory should be kept to a minimum, preferably 5 litres or less.
Cylinders should be color-coded and bear an unambiguous description of their contents. They should be regularly inspected
and tested.
Pipe work between the supply cylinders and the point of usage should have a minimum of couplings and connections, but should be
provided with easily accessible and clearly marked shut-off valves at strategic points, both inside and outside the building.
