PS Actions – 2007

Lassen – Engineering Away Back Strains!

• Boyd Barney/Plant Operator: - Boyd recognized the need to install a rail hoist to move oil barrels weighing about 500 pounds, both in and out of the oil storage containment area. This will eliminate the need for the staff to manually move the barrels eliminating potential back strains. A work order for this item including engineering (load capacity) has been submitted and Boyd is working up interim measures until the installation is complete. Boyd’s use of SOP helped him not only to identify the hazard, but to put measures in place to eliminate them. – Larry Lighthill/John Neil Wheelabrator Technologies Inc .
