Jobs in the Oil and Gas Industry
The natural gas and oil industry is an important source of jobs in the United States. IHS projects that 1.9 million direct job opportunities will be available through 2035, with nearly one million of those being semi-skilled and skilled craft trades positions. With this many potential career opportunities on offer, it’s no wonder that so many people are turning to careers in energy as a means for financial stability and success.
Pipeline integrity management
Pipeline integrity management is about being compliant with regulations and having a program that ensures safety and lowers operational costs. Operators have the best programs when they have a good system for managing pipeline integrity. They manage their processes, documentation, metrics, and organization to be more efficient with pipeline integrity.
Glove Protection in the Oil and Gas Industries
You never know when the cut-resistant gloves you wear will be your saving grace. Cut-resistant gloves can help protect your hands and fingers from accidents that could otherwise cause significant injury to them. But not all cut-resistant gloves are created equal. It’s important to understand the difference between cut resistance and cut protection to ensure that you’re choosing the right type of glove for your work environment.
Pipeline Standards for the Oil and Gas Industries
The pipeline industry is one of the most regulated industries and for good reason. There are many established standards that cover design, operations, and maintenance to ensure risks from major accidents are minimized.
Eight Steps to Ensure Your Safety in Confined Spaces
Confined spaces are a part of nearly every industry. And, due to their nature, workers entering confined spaces must exercise a high degree of caution and take extra steps to ensure their safety.
Why gas is dangerous in a confined space
Confined spaces and gas are not a good mix. In the blink of an eye, gas can fill up the space and make it impossible to breathe. There is no room for trial-and-error in this situation because death could come swiftly. That’s why gas monitoring is critical before entering these dangerous places – you need […]
Port and Dock Workers: Top Five Challenging Conditions
Docking is a high-risk industry. The work environment is challenging, and the job often requires workers to do their jobs with heavy equipment despite extreme weather conditions. Workers in seaports and docks must be prepared to work through the day and night, communicate effectively with international colleagues, and understand safety procedures which can vary depending […]
Hastelloy Applications in Explosive Environments
Hastelloy delivers strength at high temperatures and exceptional corrosion resistance, ideal for use in chemical process plants and petrochemical industry.
Grinding Sparks in Explosive Environments
The use of high-temperature gases and electrical arcs in welding means that as no mechanical energy has imparted the distance the sparks travel is reduced. However, in both cases, the hot material in spark form is close to the melting point of the material being worked on.
Dust explosions and how to avoid them
Work permit generation in process plants handling a highly flammable powder or combustible dust will necessarily focus on risk reduction or prevention.
Pipe Coating Inspection Guide
We will discuss the process of inspecting pipelines in explosive environments. coatings, and the job responsibility of NACE inspectors, and the preparation of a good surface profile for pipeline networks and oil field tanks.
Can I use a cold work permit rather than a hot work permit?
The ideal Safe System of Work (SSoW) at any location reduces the risk of performing that work to a level referred to as “As Low As Reasonably Possible” or ALARP in risk assessment terminology. The most common method of achieving this lowest risk situation is the Permit to Work (PTW) system which is used globally […]
Hidden Costs of using Conventional Tools in Explosive Environments
While initially more expensive TFT-PNEUMATIC Safety Tools offer significant advantages over conventional tools. Designed to be used in Explosive and Classified Atmospheres (including Dust Explosive areas), these tools offer unique characteristics that make them the tool of choice for Offshore Platforms, Refineries, Nuclear Plants, Chemical Plants, pipe wrapping industry, and many others. Similar to conventional […]
TFT-Pneumatic featured in the Dust Safety Science Podcast
Earlier this month we were interviewed by Dr. Chris Cloney from DustSafetyScience.com to discuss how the TFT Safety Tools are an excellent choice to use in explosive zones, especially those that handle combustible dust materials. In this podcast, we discussed: What is a non-sparking tool? What applications are non-sparking tools used in? How do these […]
Dealing with Pipe Corrosion in the Oil and Gas Industry
Pipe corrosion is a costly problem everyone in our industry deals with. The World Corrosion Organization estimated in 2019 that corrosion worldwide costs $2.5 trillion US dollars annually or 3 to 4% of the GDP of industrialized countries. Why Pipes Corrode A corroded pipe is more than a nuisance. It is dangerous at best, and […]
Pipe Surface preparation in tight/confined areas
Corrosion affects infrastructure and destroys equipment and utilities. Pipeline support brackets are areas commonly damaged by corrosion. Surface preparation is hard to achieve and it sometimes involves the use of cranes to lift the pipelines. Even if it doesn’t, the space created while raising the pipelines is typically quite small. When these jobs involve Class […]
The importance of dry compressed air systems for pneumatic tools
Moisture in compressed air may cause problems for pneumatic tools and increase down time and maintenance as a result. Learn how to avoid it.
Cut through surfaces easily using the Compact Cutting Guide A-0420
The Compact Cutting Guide A-0420 track system uses a combination of a magnet with a travel track to guide the tool back and forth a flat surface. It is designed to cut on a flat surface to remove double plating or simply cut open a manhole, etc. Alternatively, it can be used to cut longitudinally on a […]
Welding Aluminum – Weld Preparation and Material Removal
Welding aluminum is proof that technology and modern manufacturing come with certain advantages. Nowadays our manufacturing methods have evolved and we can build items that just a few years ago would have been impossible. Manufacturing applications are challenging but we continue to develop tools and techniques to make our life easier. Such is the case […]
Bolting – How does an impact wrench work
Manufacturing applications involve many different jobs, among them, is assembly, cutting, welding, grinding, painting, drilling and so on. In this post, we will discuss how a pneumatic impact wrench works and some of the technology used to make this technology easy, efficient and readily available at our fingertips. A pneumatic impact wrench, much as most […]
Saw Blade Alternatives – Avoiding Risks
Manufacturing applications involving cutting and material removal in aluminum are particularly challenging. Cutting discs get clogged up and are simply not efficient or effective. Some users have resorted to circular saw blades and have used them in angle grinders. At a glance this seems viable, however not only is it extremely dangerous. You can see […]
How to Know What Pneumatic Tool Repair You Need
When are pneumatic tool repairs needed? We discuss the components of an air tool and how each part can need repair or replacement.
