When Approaching A Train Hazard, One Must Understand That

Trains can be dangerous if you don't know how to be safe around them. Being safe around trains is a thing that people all around should know how to do weather that be in a vehicle, on a bike, or on foot. In the, "Utah transit Authority Operation Lifesaver" video says that, "When the guards go down and the lights start to flash just slow down and wait for the train to pass." If people would just listen to the warning signs and not try to race the trains there would be less accidents. When people race trains, if they don't make it they don't get a second chance at it. With a train you have almost no chance at survival if you get into an accident. You need to follow the signs and the warning signs to be cautious and not be stupid. Also in that

Mother Nature gave us natural resources to patronize and natural gas is one of them. Small quantities of ethane, propane, butane and pentane are found in the natural gas composition but it is mostly made up of methane. The high volume of pipeline gas makes it difficult for it to be transported in its gaseous form. This is the reason why the oil industry is dominating because of how easy it can be transported. Pipelines are suitable for transporting pipeline natural gas but constructing the suitable infrastructure is very expensive and not technically feasible for global transportation.1 In addition, for you to be able to make it in the gas industry you need trading partners to buy your natural gas. Having said that, one can deduce that the only way to make a

Have you ever thought of the dangers that railroads crossings have? Will if you haven't their are lots of dangers dealing with railroad crossings. In drivers ED I'm on Unit 5 Lesson 7 which tells most of the dangers dealing with railroad crossings. There are dangers on how fast you should go and how fare you should stop away from the railroad crossing. Lastly, you should know all the signs telling you were railroad crossings are.

Pipeline is the best alternative and safest mode of transporting fuel compared to freight trains or tanker tracks. However, there are those who argue that it is not safe because of lack of adequate resources to inspect them, as well as the absence of regulations regarding the use of a pipeline to transport fuel. Equally important, another issue is the great hazard to human life and environment that can be difficult to control or eliminate in case of a spill.

While oil and natural gas are fossil fuels that release harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, these energy sources are cleaner than coal, which is on the decline as fracking expands. Indeed, coal production fell thirteen percent from 2007 to 2012, as did nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide production. Moreover, pipeline transportation of oil and natural gas is significantly safer than traditional freight methods, which have devastated many communities around the world and cost millions of dollars.

Unlike oil fields, natural gas resources can be found throughout the Northwest Territories, BC, Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. From gas wells in these areas, pipelines transport natural gas to processing plants, and then to distribution

Any type of hazardous materials incidents should be handled with discretion as not to cause public panic. Use Hazardous Materials Box 11-999.

Out of all the ways of transportation for oil, a pipeline is the safest. A study based on 10 years of data in Canada by the Fraser Institute, found that transporting oil and natural gas through pipelines was 4.5 times safer. Furthermore, The American Petroleum Institute and the Association of Oil Pipe Lines found that oil and petroleum products were delivered safely through pipelines 99.99 percent of the time in 2013. In addition, almost 75 percent of pipeline incidents do not affect the environment since they occur at handling and processing facilities. Pipeline accidents are very rare and it most likely for American to be struck and killed by lightning than from a pipeline

If you can, put out the fire. However, do not under any circumstances use water. If you are wet or if you throw water on the fire, you could get yourself electrocuted.

As a first responder who arrived to respond to a small fire downtown. Upon my arrival, I see 20 people with foam-like substance emanating from their mouth. The first thing I would do is to make sure that I’m secured with the proper equipment and using my proper training that I’ve learned as a first responder before entering a contaminated area and before approaching the people who have already being exposed to hazardous material. Also, you want to make sure you test what type of substance it is to determine how dangerous it is before approaching the people. However, it’s human nature to be more cautious on how you going to approach the situation. It’s very important as a first responder to ask questions and have the full understanding of what

Gas is a clean and efficient fuel that is relatively safe, but gas line leaks are extremely dangerous, and can be deadly. The risks of a gas leak are suffocation, explosion and fire. When repair or installation is provided they require specialized equipment to test for leaks, equipment a Benjamin Franklin licensed plumber uses routinely.

Some of the general precautions are apply when handling, using and transporting of hazardous chemicals:

As a member of the state’s terrorism task force safety in regards to public transportation is of the upmost concern. When it comes to trains and subways there are many factors to take into consideration, the first is covering the vulnerabilities of the rail system. Many terrorists will target rail systems as the security there isn’t as thorough also many people rely on the system and cannot be bothered to schedule ahead of time for screening. Due to this cars are often cramped with so many people making it difficult to spot any suspicious behaviors and the confine space allows for a greater degree for causalities. In addition being underground is also a vulnerability as deadly chemical gases will reside inside the tunnels until a cleaning crew

Notify local authorities and run toward the approaching train at an angle away from the train.” I believe that it is important to know these steps for when you are ever put in that situation. It is important to stay calm and focus on what to do . Another tip that is important to remember is that you have to watch for second trains. This could cause problems because people see one train pass and assume that they can cross because the train passed. In the second video The Utah Transit Authority Operation Lifesaver gave us tips on how to be safe around the trains. The main tips from this video was to pay attention to what's around you, don’t have extra distractions when walking near or on train tracks. Another tip is that you should never wear your headphones when you are walking next to the train. Wearing headphones and walking near the train tracks is dangerous because you are most likely not paying attention and you can’t hear the train coming. Another tip is don’t be impatient and wait for the train to pass before crossing to the other side. Do not try to cross over or in front of the train you could get stuck and be in very big

The Hazard Communication Program Manger determines the appropriate emergency procedures based on the SDS, Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP), Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and other documents identifying steps to take in emergencies. This section describes general emergency response procedures that are related to chemicals used in the workplace.
