Industry Risks (What to control, and how)

• Corrosive spills & oily floors: Hydrocarbons, acids, alkalis cause softening and slips.
  Control: deploy chemical resistant mat for oil plant on pump pads, valve islands, loading areas.
• Electrical shock at cabinets: Touch/step potentials around MCC/switchgear fronts.
  Control: use anti-slip electrical mats (IEC/ASTM classes) with beveled edges and clear labels.
• Residual/induced voltage after switching: Hidden charge on busbars, cables, large motors.
  Control: verify and discharge with a rated discharge rod before contact.
• Static affecting instruments: Dry air and polymer hoses can trip analyzers or controls.
  Control: add ESD-capable matting in analyzer shelters/control rooms.
• Work at height on platforms and racks: Fall exposure during turnarounds.
  Control: fit overhead anchors and self-retracting fall arresters (SRLs); check clearance.
• Personal exposure during live-adjacent tasks: Hands near energized parts.
  Control: issue insulating gloves for refineries (IEC 60903 class-matched) with leather protectors.

Technical Specs & Options

Deployment & Maintenance Guide

1) Plan the zones
List oily/chemical areas, MCC/switchgear fronts, height work points. Match each to: chemical resistant mat for oil plant, anti-slip electrical mats, SRL anchors, PPE stations.

2) Install surfaces

• Chemical mats: lay in strips/pads; bevel edges; seal seams in spill zones.
• Electrical mats: depth 0.8–1.2 m across cabinet width; print voltage class and inspection date.

3) Equip personnel
Issue insulating gloves for refineries by IEC 60903 class and size; add leather protectors, liners, and storage tubes at room entrances.

4) Verify isolation
Before contact after switching, use a rated discharge rod (self-check, resistor path, solid earth clamp).

5) Height safety
Fit overhead anchors; select self-retracting fall arresters (SRLs) by line length (2–20 m); confirm clearance and swing.

6) Train & document
Toolbox talk for mat use, glove inspection, discharge rod procedure, SRL pre-use checks. Keep test/retest logs and replacement intervals.

7) Maintain & replace

• Mats: clean routinely; replace when surface hardening, cuts >10 mm, or loss of traction.
• Gloves: dielectric retest per policy; retire on cuts/punctures/aging.
• Discharge rods/SRLs: annual inspection; quarantine after any incident until recertified.

Application Recommendations

• Protect leak-prone zones: Place chemical resistant mat for oil plant at pumps, valve islands, and loading racks to cut slips and surface damage.
• Standardize cabinet fronts: Use anti-slip electrical mats 0.8–1.2 m deep across each MCC/switchgear bay; print voltage class and inspection date.
• Stage PPE at the door: Keep insulating gloves for refineries (IEC 60903 class-matched), leather protectors, and liners at electrical room entrances.
• Verify before touch: Mount a discharge rod rack beside LOTO boards; require discharge/earthing before panel contact.
• Control height risk: Install overhead anchors and select self-retracting fall arresters (SRLs) by required reach (2–20 m); confirm clearance and swing.
• Color-code routes: Use contrasting mat colors or borders to flag hot-work zones, spill areas, and cabinet approach zones.
• Keep it clean and grippy: Set a weekly mat cleaning routine; replace when traction drops or cuts exceed 10 mm.
• Document and audit: Maintain a one-page layout for each area with mat grade, glove class, discharge procedure, and SRL inspection dates.

FAQ

Q1: Which mat should we use at oily pump areas?
Use a chemical resistant mat for oil plant (NBR/EPDM/PVC) with ribbed or chevron texture for traction.

Q2: How deep should mats be in front of MCC/switchgear?
Standardize anti-slip electrical mats at 0.8–1.2 m depth across each cabinet width; print voltage class and inspection date.

Q3: How do we pick glove class for refinery work?
Match insulating gloves for refineries to system voltage per IEC 60903 (Class 00–4). Add leather protectors and follow retest schedules.

Q4: If power is off, why use a discharge rod?
Residual or induced voltage may remain. A rated discharge rod removes charge before contact.

Q5: When do we need SRLs instead of lanyards?
Use self-retracting fall arresters (SRLs) where overhead anchors exist, movement is frequent, or clearance is limited; verify arrest distance and swing.

Q6: Do you supply documentation?
Yes. Spec sheets, test reports, and compliance declarations; third-party certificates on request.
