Bypassing Safety Controls

© 2013 Halliburton. All rights reserved. DID YOU KNOW CHEMISTRY AND CARELESSNESS DON’T MIX. The Halliburton Life Rules are a set of core factors that affect personal safety that all Halliburton employees know and live by. These are key components for identifying and managing the hazards in our business. Improperly storing, handling, or mixing chemicals can pose significant safety and environmental risks. Before working with chemicals, ensure that proper controls are in place and personal protection equipment (PPE) is used, and that all involved are aware of the nearest locations for eye washes and safety showers, as appropriate. Also, make certain that everyone has reviewed the appropriate safety data sheets (SDS) and fully understands the potential hazards. If work with chemicals must be undertaken in a confined space, allow only trained workers with an official work permit to perform the necessary tasks. Should spills of hazardous chemicals occur, take emergency response action as indicated in your emergency response plan. Some spills may require government reporting so be familiar with those requirements as well. At Halliburton, solving customer challenges is second only to keeping everyone safe and healthy.
