Five Tips to Improve Safety at Your Facility

To keep our contractors, vendors, full-time employees, or site visitors safe, Greenup Industries maps every on-site journey from when someone arrives until they sign out from the premises. For nearly a decade, we have learned much about the different safety and security requirements of various industries and organizations. Here are our top 5 safety and security recommendations:

Perform ongoing safety training. 

Providing safety training for employees is essential for creating a culture of workplace safety. A workforce with a strong understanding of safety guidelines and best practices is more likely to recognize potential hazards before they occur. This can lead to fewer injuries and help you avoid costly losses in productivity and employee morale.

Promote a good safety culture

Workplace safety starts with a strong safety culture, the collection of values and beliefs that employers and employees share concerning risks in the workplace. Effective leadership is critical because cultural change is complex and challenging. Leaders need to embrace the safety agenda and lead the efforts across the overall organization.

If you're committed to a safe work environment, find ways to get your employees onboard. Encourage employees to get to know the standards and to report potentially hazardous situations. The OSHA rules and regulations can be a stiff read, making your inductions or training interactive or video-based. 

Keep contractor records up to date.

To keep your site safe and secure, your contractors and vendors must keep their records up to date. Our proprietary software, Greenup Tracker, ensures all of our contractors and vendors have up-to-date records, including relevant qualifications, insurances, and other documents. Contractors and vendors can log in, edit their records, and keep them up to date.

Consider using photo ID scanning for Visitors. 

Providing touchless registration will ensure safer job sites for your workers. Registration, virtual orientations, virtual training, and automated health checklists can all be accessed through their photo ID card. 

This adds an extra layer of security and allows them to verify better people's identity coming on-site, but it also makes sign-in a lot faster.

Make sure your emergency response plan is not "one-size-fits-all." 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) warns that workplace evacuations are more common than people think. There is a broad range of possible emergencies, including explosions, natural disasters, hazardous material releases, biological accidents, civil disturbances, or workplace violence. Your company needs more than a "one-size-fits-all" response plan.

Implement technology to protect lone worker safety

Lone worker safety applications (smartphone apps) can allow users to notify employers and emergency personnel to help locate a worker with a simple action such as pulling a wrist tether from an unlocked phone. Once signaled, the appropriate authorities are immediately dispatched to the worker's location through GPS monitoring. In addition, previously programmed information about the employee will be sent to the dispatch team, requiring the threatened worker to enter zero information while the event is taking place. There are several great apps available to protect your lone workers.

Going beyond compliance

Safety is a crucial enabler of business continuity, operational performance, and productivity. Effectively addressing these five areas will help organizations become safety compliant.

• Prevent workplace injuries

• Improve compliance with laws and regulations

• Reduce costs, including significant reductions in workers' compensation premiums

• Engage workers

• Enhance their social responsibility goals

• Increase productivity and enhance overall business operations

Employers will find that implementing these recommended practices brings other benefits. Studies show that when companies value safety, operational excellence will follow.

At Greenup Industries safety is our middle name

The safety regulations at any refinery are extremely important and directly correlated to a staff's level of danger. Throughout the Gulf South, there are a large number of refineries, meaning there are thousands of workers who are at risk of injury for several hours a day. It is our job to make sure our people are safe.

Greenup Industries puts safety at the forefront of every job.

There are inherent risks present in the industrial industry that must not be overlooked. It takes a detail-oriented, meticulous team to provide the proper environment for those working in the refining industry, which is why you don't often hear of major accidents or disasters on sites. Extensive procedures are conducted to manage potential risks all the while keeping operations running smoothly for all workers and the communities that surround these sites. 

Because of the high safety standards, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports:

• Refining is one of the safest industrial activities in the US, with fewer worker injuries than sectors such as education, retail sales, and financial services

• The rate of non-fatal injuries among U.S. refinery workers declined by 36% between 2003 and 2011

• Refiners operate under extensive self-imposed safety measures designed to provide maximum protection to our communities,

Greenup Industries has been recognized for its efforts to keep safety standards a top priority in all of our work and this would not be possible without our team of experts working in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and California. The oil and gas industry could be so much more dangerous, but with crews like ours, negative statistics are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Connect with Greenup Industries for more information about jobs, maintenance services and specialty services. 

The Importance of Safety in the Oil and Gas Industry

At Greenup Industries, we are constantly reiterating to our clients the importance of safety on the job. Refinery work can be very high risk and that is why we put our employees through rigorous training before we send them out to begin work on-site. The safety and health of our employees is always at the forefront of what we do at Greenup Industries.

Key practices to ensure our team is always safe

In compliance with federal and state safety regulations, the refineries we partner with operate under strict safety measures. These safety measures are in addition to those already imposed by federal and local regulations. This allows for the most effective production and the safest environment for our team.

Some of the measures taken include:

·       Extensive safety training of employees and contractors

·       Reliable use of proper site equipment

·       Regular practice of safety and emergency procedures

·       Constant communication with staff and partners to ensure all production processes are aligned

·       Weekly inspections and maintenance repairs to equipment and machinery

·       Plan of action in response to safety concerns or hazards identified by Greenup Industries team on-site

While we continue to push these strict safety practices and maximize our commitment to keeping our staff out of harm’s way, our goal is to build trust with our most important partners.
