We need your input to assist in providing you what we assume you need for better education from us and what you actually need. It’s also an opportunity for chiefs to provide thoughts on what they are looking for from their engineers. We will have 4 -6 tables staffed with “senior” engineers to answer your questions and hear your feedback. After the round-table meetings we hope to align future seminars and happy hours to develop forums, call trees and specific areas of education to help us all staff our buildings, grow our staffs, and BUILD BETTER ENGI-NEERS- These are no pressure brainstorming sessions that we hope to use
as our guide for the future. We need and WANT your input on
topics like bringing more youth into the industry, what doesn’t
make sense to you, how to improve building operations and life
safety and how to bring more interest to learning all you can in
your job. This is your opportunity to open communication in the
industry and let your bosses know what you and others need to
do the best work possible.

Mechanical Hazards
Handling Drums: A typical 55-gallon drum of oil or grease weighs nearly 450 pounds (204 kg). If a drum is dropped, it may
bounce out of control or burst at a seam, creating a spill and/or fire hazard. Two people should overturn or upend a drum to
prevent muscle strains and other injuries. When rolling a drum, always keep its motion in check; never allow it to free roll.
When hoisting a drum, use a drum sling that hooks over the ends of the drum. Do not use air pressure to empty a drum as it
may burst open.
Oil and Grease Spills: Oil or grease spilled on floors, catwalks, and ladders can present fall and fire hazards. Wipe up lubricant
spills immediately or use absorbent drying pads or granules. Repair or report sources of lubricant leaks. In the oil house or stor-
age area, replace leaky dispensing devices, keep drip pails in place, and wipe up any spills.
Application to Machines: Do not apply lubricants to machines in operation unless the machine is equipped with central lubrica-
tion systems or the fittings and oil caps are piped out to a safe place. Do not reach over, under, through, or past moving parts of
machinery. For machinery requiring lubrication during operation, refer to OEM recommendations for safety procedures. For
machinery that specifically requires shutdown for lubrication, ensure that the machinery is properly locked and tagged out of
service.

The Golden Rules for Machinery Reliability Posted on December 28, 2017 - Maintenance World
You are probably familiar with life’s golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. But have you ever wondered how any given machine, if it could express itself, would feel about this rule? What would it say? This article offers some speculative thoughts from the machine’s point of view, presented as the golden rules for machinery reliability. Golden Rule 1 With regard to design and fabrication, I am sized and designed for a specific purpose, mostly process parameters, so they need to be correct and for that purpose. I want to deliver my ca-pability and be viewed favorably by both operations and maintenance. If I have a say and am pressed, I would reluctantly accept some purchasing compromises for the sake of price, but never lifecycle cost.With regard to design and fabrication, I am sized and designed for a spe-cific purpose, mostly process parameters, so they need to be correct and for that purpose. I want to deliver my capability and be viewed favorably by both operations and maintenance. If I have a say and am pressed, I would reluctantly accept some purchasing compromises for the sake of price, but never lifecycle cost. Golden Rule 2 I need to be stored so I can maintain my like new condition. Some of my friends have been stored poorly, so when brought out for installation, they are really ready to go back to the hos-pital or even the boneyard. I hope you won’t do that to me. I really enjoy working hard for you, so please store me so I can be ready when called upon. Golden Rule 3 I will try really hard to withstand substandard installation practices, but please excuse me if I make more noise, generate excessive heat, consume more energy and cost more than you were expecting. After all, I can’t work well, run quietly and be energy efficient if defects were introduced during installation. By the way, many of my friends died shortly after a poor instal-lation effort. It was so sad, not to mention expensive. I will miss them. Golden Rule 4 I really want to live a long life and make you happy during that life, but if I fall short of my ex-pected lifecycle, please conduct a thoughtful review of why I died so early. I hope my autopsy would reveal any oversights with the original design, purchase, storage, installation, operation and maintenance. Most of my friends could benefit from that and live longer than me. They would likely appreciate that and you would, too. Golden Rule 5 During my life, if I need any work or repairs, I hope the maintenance technicians treat me kindly. I’m only as good or bad as their efforts dictate. Hopefully, they won’t shorten my life and create a situation that needs an autopsy.

Golden Rule 6
In order for me to live a long time, precision installation and adjustment must take precedence
over brute force. You should know I abhor hammers and appreciate things like micrometers
and lasers. They help me to feel loved. You wouldn’t go to a doctor for a good beating, would
you? Wouldn’t you want to be treated with care and respect? I’m the same way. For example,
I just love to be in perfect balance, not to mention colinear or parallel shaft alignment. I also
like to be securely mounted without any housing distortion. I’m really not a very good mover
and shaker, except for the process stream, and dancing is totally out of the question.
Golden Rule 7 All my fluids must be kept clean (oil is particularly dirty, even when it is brand new) and at the proper level, and neither too hot nor too cold. Like Goldilocks, my fluids must be kept just right. And, if I happen to be a pump, I much prefer operating at my best efficiency point or BEP. To do otherwise is a bit like you trying to run with a rope and weight tied around your belly or, alternatively, like running against a hurricane wind. You’d get tired and worn out pretty quickly. So do I. Golden Rule 8 While I really don’t like being the center of attention, especially if something is wrong with me that could have been avoided, I appreciate an occasional visit to check on my well-being and correcting the little things so they don’t turn into big things. Starvation, in the form of cavita-tion, is really a stressful thing if I was a pump. It just wears my heart out really quickly. I don’t want to die before my time. Golden Rule 9
Finally, I’m not as dumb as you think; I respond well to kindness and care. If you follow all
these golden rules, our relationship with be reciprocal. I’ll take care of you if you take care of
me. I’ve been trying to tell you all this for a long time. We’re partners, even though you make
the decisions and I can only respond. Take my advice: Apply Life’s Golden Rule!
