TBT #45 BEAT THE HEAT: PREVENTING HEAT STRESS & STROKE

With the majority of Southey Contracting’s operations taking place in the areas where our people are exposed to the elements, especially the sun, managing the exposure to harmful UV radiation and the heat that comes with it is an on-going area of concern when coming employee health and wellbeing. We need to be careful to manage these exposures carefully with a sustainable plan in mind.

⚠️ Why It Matters (The Danger)
- Heat stress happens when your body can't cool down, leading to heat exhaustion or the deadly heat stroke.
- Heat stroke is a medical emergency that can cause permanent organ damage or death if not treated immediately.

🛡️ Prevention (Your Shield Against the Heat)
- Hydrate: Drink cool water often, at least a cup every 20 minutes, even if you're not thirsty. Avoid sugary drinks and caffeine.
- Dress Smart: Wear light-coloured, loose-fitting, breathable clothing and a hat.
- Take Breaks: Rest in the shade or a cool spot frequently, especially during the hottest parts of the day.
- Acclimatize: New workers need to gradually build up to the heat over a week or two.
- Watch Out: Look out for yourself and your teammates; heat illness can sneak up on you.

🪧 Know the Signs
- Heat Exhaustion: Heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, headache, muscle cramps.
- Heat Stroke: Hot, dry skin (no sweating), confusion, slurred speech, throbbing headache, high body temperature. This situation is considered an emergency and immediate intervention is required

❓ What To Do (Immediate Action)
- For Heat Exhaustion: Move to shade, loosen remove thick and/or tight-fitting clothing, drink water, and rest.
- For Heat Stroke: Call emergency services immediately! Move to shade, loosen remove thick and/or tight-fitting clothing, cool the person with wet cloths placed on the face and back of the neck or have them sit in a basin full of cool water, fan them.

🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Don't wait for thirst or dizziness.
- Stay ahead of the heat by planning breaks, drinking water, and watching for the warning signs. Be a heat safety buddy!

🔧 Precision. Power. Performance.
At Southey Contracting, we support a wide range of industries with expert bolt torquing and tensioning services—essential for securing heavy machinery and critical payloads.

⚙️ Bolt Torquing
A cost-effective and widely used method that applies rotational force to fasteners, ensuring even torque distribution. Ideal for many applications, including demanding environments like oil & gas, where high-pressure hydraulic tools deliver powerful torque output.

🔩 Bolt Tensioning
A more precise method that stretches the fastener to achieve accurate preload. Commonly used in high-pressure flanges and critical joints across industries such as oil & gas, wind energy, subsea, and power generation. It’s efficient, reliable, and allows multiple bolts to be tensioned simultaneously.

✅ With Southey’s expertise, we tailor solutions to your project’s exact requirements, ensuring structural integrity and performance every time.

How do we determine the right method?

We consider:
• Cost
• Joint criticality
• Accessibility
• Available equipment
• Personnel expertise
• Friction factors
• Bolt diameter

Toolbox Talk #44 HYDROCARBON SPILL PREVENTION & RESPONSE

As a responsible user of hydrocarbon-based products, such as fuels, paints, solvents, sealants and lubricants, Southey Contracting constantly assesses their use and consider methods to prevent spills and instil the knowledge of how to react if one occurs to protect ourselves and the environment into our teams as part of our core values.

☢️ Why Do We Care?
- Safety Hazards: Hydrocarbon spillages can cause slip-and-fall injuries and can also become a fire hazard.
- Environmental Damage: Hydrocarbons spillages have the potential to cause catastrophic negative impact to soil, water sources, fauna and flora.
- Legal/Company Consequences: Spills can lead to fines, lawsuits, and costly clean-up operations.

🦺 Prevention Measures (What to do daily)
- Daily Inspections: Check vehicles, machinery, and hydraulic hoses for drips or leaks before starting work.
- Use Drip Trays: Always place drip trays under parked mobile equipment (diesel powered equipment, while mixing paints, and decanting fuels, paints, solvents and lubricants) and stored bulk storage drums.
- Secondary Containment: Store containers and drums in a bunded area (or on purpose designed spill-proof pallets) to catch any leaks.
- Secure Storage: Keep containers closed and properly labelled when not in use.
- No Spills During Transfer: Use pumps or funnels when transferring oil. Do not overfill tanks.

🚩 If a Spill Occurs
- If you see a leak, do not ignore it.
- Stop the source (e.g., turn off the machine, upright the drum) if it is safe to do so.
- Contain the spill using absorbent pads, socks, or sand from a spill kit to prevent it from reaching drains or water.
- Clean up the contaminated material and place it in the designated hazardous waste disposal bin.

⚠️ Emergency Action
- Report It: Immediately notify your supervisor.
- Location: Know where the nearest spill kit is located.
- PPE: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles) before cleaning.

⚙️ Things to Consider / Discussion Questions:
- Where is the closest spill kit?
- What should you do if you notice a hose leaking on your machine?

Key Takeaway:!!
Stop the source, Contain the spread, Clean it up, Report it.
