A very unfortunate accident which could have been prevented with proper communication and signage. This fatality in Thailand .
Below is a HSE Bulletin for you to share the information with others.
“The area around the pressure test had not been identified in any way: there were no barricades, no warning signs, no standby person keeping watch to warn passers-by, also, there had been no general warning of any testing taking place. Consequently, an employee from an unrelated project walked past the pressure-test area when the Testing Flange blew off and struck the employee in the head. The blow was so violent that the man was instantly killed. ”
