Douglas OHI Duqm Refinery Say Hello, Wave Goodbye Plant Safety Awareness

The Douglas OHI HSE Team working on the Duqm Refinery project conducted a Say Hello, Wave Goodbye HSSE Training session this week. This programme was specifically created to raise the profile of the risk posed by moving plant and transport, and significantly reduce this risk on our Duqm based project.

Training is given to operatives including the plant operator.  After an overview of the problem, participants are shown the specific blind spots of the equipment and then demonstrated the best place and worse place to stand. 

Three areas were identified:

Yellow Zone

  • Relatively safe place in which to stand and be seen by the Operator. 

Amber Zone

  • An area of increased risk and should not be entered without the permission of the Operator. 
  • To obtain permission, the Trainee must Wave to the Operator, who must acknowledge the Operative. 
  • The Operative must indicate their intention to enter the Amber Zone. 
  • Before granting permission, the Operator must place the hydraulic attachment on the ground and raise the safety lever in the cab – immobilising the machine. 
  • The Operator will then Wave to the Operative giving them permission to proceed. 
  • When the Operative leaves the Amber Zone, they must Wave Goodbye to the Operator who can then continue to work. 

Red Zone

  • Highly hazardous place when positioning oneself. 
  • In addition to the above, the Operator must switch off the engine completely immobilising the machine. 

Additional aids including pocket sized cards are issued to trainees, stickers placed inside operating cabs, posters onsite toolbox briefing provided.
