Chemicals and refining - Chemical handling, labels and confined space checks
In chemical plants and refineries, ConductVision is designed to flag missing eye protection and gloves during chemical handling, containers without a label, and a confined space entry with no attendant, for your safety team to review.
What it can flag
ConductVision does not stop work, and it does not replace your fire, gas or confined space monitoring.
Chemical handling
Eye protection, gloves or an apron missing where your rules require them while someone handles chemicals.
Eyewash stations and safety showers
An eyewash station or safety shower left blocked, and each time an eyewash is used.
Confined space entry
A confined space entry, such as a tank or vat, with no attendant outside.
Restricted areas
Someone entering chemical storage, a boiler room or the top of a tank where your rules restrict it.
Drum storage
A person in a forklift's path where drums are moved.
Chemical containers
A container with no label, for your team to check whether it needs one.
Spills
A spill on a walkway.
Smoking
Someone smoking in a chemical area.
What OSHA's rules say
...the employer shall ensure that each container of hazardous chemicals in the workplace is labeled, tagged or marked...
Provide at least one attendant outside the permit space into which entry is authorized for the duration of entry operations
The employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids or caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, or potentially injurious light radiation.
Where the eyes or body of any person may be exposed to injurious corrosive materials, suitable facilities for quick drenching or flushing of the eyes and body shall be provided within the work area for immediate emergency use.
Pilot - How a pilot starts
A pilot is one area of one plant. We look at footage you choose to share with us and agree with your team on what to watch for. A first look at your footage shows whether the camera views will work. Your team sets the criteria before any results come in. You decide whether to roll out, change the scope or stop.
- You bring
- Video from the cameras already in one area of your plant
- We set up
- One area, and the problems to flag there
- You get
- Flagged clips for your team to review, and a report of the results checked against the criteria your team set
ConductVision works with the camera system you already run. We do not install cameras. ConductVision runs on a computer at your site. Full recordings never leave your network, and short clips leave it only as your statement of work sets out. Faces can be blurred, or people shown as simple figures, when your policy calls for it.
