Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 402

20 March 2014

Electric Shock Injury

Please see enclosed a self-explanatory bulletin that was shared with us by ExxonMobil.

This incident is a reminder of the need to stop and carry out a separate Last Minute Risk
Assessment (LMRA) if the task or environment changes. When working on existing
infrastructure, it is not possible to always know exactly what you are going to find when you
remove a panel or open an enclosure. Sometimes what you find is not at all what you were
expecting. It is important in these cases to stop and re-evaluate the risk of the job before
proceeding - you may even find the risk is now too high to proceed without additional
equipment or people.

Remember to document on your clearance certificate any hazards identified as a result of any
changes, as well as the additional control measures needed.

We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything we do has
been learned throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and charts, some through visual
presentations, and some by reading detailed text books. It is important that we receive information in a format that works
for us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo Strata we use a variety of communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters,
videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for us to share health and safety information, please let us know.
Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we will do all we can to keep you well informed!
