Water & Environment Unit Design Safety Initiative Update and Designing for Safe Maintenance

Safety Stand Down, November 2010

Aims of Presentation

WNE Design Safety Initiative:  An update on progress: Guidance and information that has been generated as a result of the initiative to date.  Designing for safe operation and maintenance using examples from:

• Yorkshire Water
• Anglian Water

Unit Design Safety Initiative Update

Unit Design Safety Initiative 2010

Progress to Date



Reviewing effectiveness of design hazard elimination actions;



Producing guidance on achieving best practice;



Best practice examples and RAG list posted in BPTL on PIMs;



Link to this on Unit Safety home page



Health and Safety Design Leadership workshop.

Planned Action to end of year



Project Safety Advisors (PSA) to review effectiveness of current designs in mitigating risks;



Implement suggestions from Design Leadership workshop;



WUD design processes to be reviewed to integrate safety interventions;



More best practice examples to be included in BPTL safety folder;



Review standard forms to include more prompts.

Unit Design Safety Initiative 2010

Objective Be better at identifying, managing and communicating risks

Unit Design Safety Initiative 2011

Actions



PSAs to be more involved and carry out spot checks of design decision forms;



Include all designers of all disciplines and stakeholders in design health and safety process;



Revise our design processes to include health and safety best practice;



Obtain and implement feedback from contractors/operators;



Continuous improvement of safety best practice library.

Unit Design Safety Initiative 2011

Designing for Safe Operation and Maintenance

How to achieve this?



Involve operators during the design and hazard elimination processes;



Use 3D model to undertake virtual walk through the works with operators;



Think from an operator’s perspective while designing;



Walk around with operators at end of job to identify good and bad practice and capture lessons learned in BPTL;



Incorporate lessons learnt into future designs.

Keldgate WTW Communication: Delivery Process



Design & commissioning delivery process specifically developed;



Design and commissioning review meetings undertaken with Client every two weeks;



Dedicated safety meetings integral part of delivery process:

–

2 nr. HAZOPs

–

HAZCON (construction)

–

HAZ-maintenance (lifting & access)

–

HAZCOM (commissioning)



Safety meetings undertaken using a HAZOP facilitator;



Safety meetings conducted with Client’s operational staff.



3D model of building, plant and instrumentation produced



Operation of plant reviewed with Client’s staff



Maintenance (access & lifting) of plant reviewed with Client



Lighting Plan produced and evaluated



Fire/Emergency escape plan reviewed by Building Inspector



Access road evaluated using Autotrack

Keldgate WTW Co-ordination

Keldgate WTW Hazard Elimination/Operational



Lighting designed to avoid shadows



Valves positioned to ensure easy access and operation



Plant operation fully automated



Instruments and display monitors positioned at eye level



Access platforms provided for higher equipment



MCC Room has climate control to provide comfortable temperature



Access to bund (confined space) eliminated

Keldgate WTW Hazard Elimination/Maintenance



Lifting beams installed for heavy equipment



Building floor has no steps to allow trolley access



Access to every item of plant provided



Lights positioned to allow them to be accessed by mobile platform



Valves located at level to facilitate access



Serviceable items in bunds and buried tanks located at surface

Kings Lynn H&S Review with Operations



Poly electrolyte is extremely slippery when wet so design to avoid ponding on slabs;

Kings Lynn H&S Review with Operations Some Lessons Learnt



Position valves for ease of operation

Kings Lynn H&S Review with Operations Some Lessons Learnt



WESSO valve at the top of Monsal units produces toxic gasses, so do not provide permanent access to the valves

Kings Lynn H&S Review with Operations Some Lessons Learnt



Avoid steep sloping access roofs – KL Digesters 25o slope

Challenge

What will you do differently in your designs to contribute to safe maintenance?

AutoTrack/Truck Delivery



AutoTrack models the swept paths of steered vehicles, including articulated trucks in loading areas and junctions;



Can control a second steered axle at drive time using the mouse wheel;



Any number of camera viewpoints (including drivers eye views) and switch between them during animation playback;



Display full width tyre tracks.
