Plant safety encompasses technical and organisational measures to protect people, the environment and plant equipment when handling lubricants and coolants . Key topics: media labelling, safe storage, drip pans, fire protection (flash point, aerosols), pressure and temperature limits, ATEX assessment, interlocks, and leakage and fill level monitoring.
Operational measures include LOTO procedures (lockout/tagout), PPE (personal protective equipment), slip-resistant areas, training and emergency plans. Design features such as seal- and maintenance-friendly designs, pressure relief valves, drip deflectors and closed dosing systems increase safety. Regular audits, risk assessments (e.g. HAZOP = Hazard and Operability Study) and documented tests ensure compliance – and prevent failures, product losses and consequential damage.
