Slip and Fall Prevention
Wet floors, hoses, drains and product spills require layout and housekeeping.
This is general education, not an engineered safety design, fire-code approval, process-hazard analysis or operating procedure.
Why this hazard matters
Wet floors, hoses, drains and product spills require layout and housekeeping. Distillation combines heat, volatile liquids, pressure, utilities and material handling in ways that require engineered controls.
Use the hierarchy of controls
Eliminate or reduce the hazard through process and equipment design, then use ventilation, guarding, interlocks, procedures, training and protective equipment.
Coordinate with authorities
Fire, building, electrical, boiler, occupational-safety and environmental requirements overlap. Resolve them before commissioning.
Stop abnormal operation
Leaks, unexpected pressure, loss of cooling, unusual odor, vibration, heat, failed ventilation or disabled controls require shutdown and investigation.
