Hi Process Safety Professionals, I am here to initiate a discussion on Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs), an essential component in ensuring the safety of pressure systems. Below are a few topics and questions I would like to explore 1.   What are the implications of including ALL PSV in the Safety Critical devices list in terms of maintenance, inspection, 2.   Are there any significant benefits or challenges associated with this classification? 3.   Is redundancy necessary for all PSVs, or are there specific conditions where redundancy becomes critical? 4.   What factors should be considered when deciding on the need for redundant PSVs? 5.   Which standard provides us with the guidelines regarding the PSV?  I am very interested in hearing your perspectives, experiences, and any relevant insights you might have on this topic. Your contributions will help in understanding the diverse approaches and considerations involved in implementing redundant PSVs.

☎️ing all my Technician Friends ☎️ This has been one of my favorite weeks in recent months. I have dedicated this week to shop flow and efficiency. This has been a humble reminder of what you all go through. My back hurts, got soaked with coolant and power steering fluid. The shops I spent time in doubled their average car count and improved recommendations by 3 or higher per inspection. Here is my dilema and could use your insight on how I can better messsge the whys and how important it is to check basics before causing more work or chasing parts…Instead of taking time to better diagnose? This vehicle we replaced a reman engine and at idle suffered no oil pressure until we accelerated. My technician was quick to insist that the oil pump was bad. I tried to ask open ended questions and provoke different thinking. He was getting frustrated with me and my intent wasn’t to argue, but avoid 15 hours additional labor to replace a part that wouldn’t solve the problem. I had to insist that he remove oil pan and check o ring on pick up tube and verify no blockage. Before I ordered oil pump. We replaced o ring and and reassembled….. Great oil pressure now! How can I help better message this area?What are ways that you worked with your leaders and or advisors that helped you in your early journeys for those master techs? What advice could you give me or younger technicians entering this field? I am no way a master technician 👩🔧. I try to stay in the know to keep us out of trouble and help everyone be more productive and successful. And Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Your work is the most important in our industry…. It’s tough on your bodies and many times the most thankless. I see you and I appreciate YOU 😊

Open Question to the average Joe burner mechanic: If you could describe the three most pivotal inputs to your development as a technician, what would they be? Mine: 1. The always present fear of God that failure is not an option. 2. Apprenticed by some of this trade’s best technicians. 3. The constant pushing into the unknown in order to keep the challenge high and burn-out far off.
