Military-Grade Drones: Your New Eye in the Sky for Industrial Safety https://lnkd.in/gv4WSgKp Sponsored by HUB Partner Xero "This is not your commercial off-the-shelf drone you buy at Best Buy" – Josh Becker, Ph.D., CSP. Zero Downtime Inspections "We don't shut down production... we can see a lot more than with a camera and binoculars," Becker explains. "The measuring tools are amazing," notes Becker. "We can tell you square footage, how much dirt is there, down to less than a foot of accuracy." Even OSHA's getting in on the action, now using drones for their own inspections.

30% H2S: The Exposure That Should Have Killed Me https://lnkd.in/eC7Mg4tR "In 1983, I encountered a sweet smell that should have been my last breath. At 300,000 parts per million of hydrogen sulfide, the exposure was exponentially beyond fatal levels. Yet here I am." Charles Simpson "Chuck shouldn't be here now. Chuck should be dead... all those workers that went down there to rescue Chuck, they all should be dead... that's all I can say with the amount of H2S they were exposed to." James Junkin, MS, CSP, MSP, SMS, ASP, CSHO What happened that day transformed me from an "ignorant college boy" into one of the nation's leading H2S experts. But more importantly, it revealed hard truths about safety culture that the industry needed to hear. As James recalls: "When I first got into the oil field, this guy that taught the H2S class - everything you did, you gonna die. If you get out the truck, and you're thinking about your momma, and you're not thinking about H2S, you're going to die. You gonna die die, die, die, die. I was so stressed out after 4 hours of that course, I told my wife, I'm going back into the Navy. They're killing people in the oil and gas industry. I felt like I needed a strong drink and Xanax after that H2S course. Scaring people is not the goal... but you do need a healthy fear and awareness of this chemical." Listen to the full episode with hosts James Junkin and Dr. L.F. Martin, PhD, MBA, PMP, CIH, CSP, MSP, CHMM to discover how this brush with death revolutionized H2S safety practices.
