Safety has always been B&W Energy Services’ top priority. While we strive for the utmost safety in every aspect of a project, it is especially important during the pre-commissioning and commissioning stages.
During the pre-commissioning inspection phase, teams are responsible for testing all equipment and systems to ensure they’re functioning properly and as designed so the facility is ready to begin operations. Pre-commissioning is essential to all projects as it ensures a smooth transition into the startup of the facility’s operations. All pre-commissioning work must be done carefully to ensure the equipment remains undamaged and operates at peak condition throughout the process.
One key to safety during these processes is an experienced staff. What is the pre-commissioning of a plant without one? Team members with detailed experience in these areas will provide expertise to others and can offer advice for avoiding common missteps. Here are a few ways that our team upholds our high safety standards:
✓The B&W team participates in mandatory training programs each year to guarantee that each team member is prepared to uphold and knowledgeable about proper safety measures
✓B&W employees regularly check for potential problems and take appropriate action to reduce hazards and prevent further safety issues
✓Team members also take precautions, such as wearing all required PPE and ensuring all others involved are doing the same
During processes such as AquaLazing, air blowing or steam blowing, staff members must be aware of the hazards throughout the process, as high velocities pose a risk of injury. That’s why B&W developed both a Job Safety Analysis and a Job Site Hazard Assessment to use before beginning a project. These safety tools identify potential hazards and recommend safe practices for everyone involved in a job.
The pre-commissioning and commissioning processes play an essential role in a project’s overall success. Safety during these stages is paramount to ensure that our clients’ projects run smoothly. Our commitment to a safe environment allows us to develop trust with our clients that transforms into a long-lasting relationship.
