In emergency situations, the first step to do is to raise the alarm and then escape via emergency routes.īut what about more subtle cases ? What about proactively stopping the operations, before any clear emergency situations ? If during the operations, something does no longer make sense or you think that something appears unsafe, then it may not be easy to push the ESD button, and you may wait too long. In a well test operation, in case of a clear safety issue such as an accidental release of hydrocarbon or the presence of a source of ignition, you will push the ESD button. (Most) companies have a safety culture and in an unsafe situation, the job needs to be stopped immediately. This is clear and understood by everybody.
“If something seems or looks unsafe, push the ESD button”. But on some circumstances, you might have to push the ESD (Emergency Shut Down) button. Risk assessments, procedures, planning, training, safety systems, etc… All are in place to make sure that the operations are safe.
