1 Learning from Shell Significant Incidents
What happened?: On April 4th 2005 at the Thayani production station in Syria , an operator was on his way to or from checking the clean-up pit pumps, which are adjacent to the pit. In taking a short cut he passed the pit corner and either tripped or slipped into the clean-up pit, which contained oil, and “drowned”.  Why ? - Taking a short-cut - No barriers or segregation between the pit and pump area. - Lack of awareness of the hazard presented by passing close to oil filled pits. Prevention? - Segregate the clean-up pit from the pump (operating) area - Review operating philosophy of station manning (single operators). - Provide vacuum truck remote connection (outside fence) for load/unload facilities and remove need for operators to approach the pit. - Discuss the incident in your toolbox meeting What about your oil pits? Could someone fall in?
