This photo was sent as an example of a hazardous situation without many details but as a picture is worth 1,000 words we would like to reproduce it here. While the source pipe is indicated ‘compressed air’ in black on the deck (yellow circle and arrow added here for clarity), this situation does present numerous safety issues.
Lessons learned
- Eliminate tripping hazards wherever possible; in this instance the unruly air conduit on deck is a serious tripping hazard.
- Protect potential energy sources, in this case the compressed air feed on deck, from damage.
