The HSE promptly blow away my expectations by declaring Competency Management Systems and Training will be a central tenant of the 2012 inspection regime for all Major Accident Hazard Sites.

A most competent conference

The HSE’s announcement means employers will be required to keep Competency atop of their workplace safety regime.

In partnership with safety training providers, they will have to work even harder to demonstrate the robustness of their  Competence Management System and Training – showcasing skills, experience and knowledge on an unwavering basis.

Safety doesn’t happen by accident

As a workplace training and consultancy specialist, Competency has always been close to my heart. A quick flick through the history books shows how inadequate management of Competency sparked an array of disasters including Esso Longford and BP Texas City.

Improved Competency means improved workplace safety. So it’ll come as no surprise that RTS welcomes the HSE’s announcement with open arms.

Ask a question

According to reports, fire fighters descended upon the city’s Lunga Lunga industrial region to battle the ensuing flames which claimed the lives of at least 75 people.

While the cause of the explosion is yet to be confirmed, it is suggested a stray cigarette butt may have been thrown into an open sewer that was filling with fuel.

Tragedy raises ethical questions

In a statement, the Kenya Pipeline Company confirmed fuel had leaked into a storm drain from the Nairobi-Mombasa pipeline.

The comments have once again brought to the fore accusations levied against oil and gas companies that they often fail to adequately bury or protect their pipelines in developing countries.

The Guardian claims that in the past 24 months there has been up to 30 major pipeline explosions and leaks of oil and gas in such regions.

The Nairobi-Mombasa pipeline travels through the heart of the densely populated Sinai slum area.

According to residents, a number of the shacks had been erected on top of the pipeline. The spill, locals say, prompted many people to rush and collect leaking fuel.

Police are continuing to investigate the cause of the explosion.
