Effective control of activities starts with a thorough risk assessment. This includes evaluating risks inherent to the tasks being performed, such as electrical hazards, or those arising from specific work conditions, like assembly at height or adjustments and troubleshooting on operating machines with moving parts or within enclosures.

When mechanical and electrical assembly work is outsourced, risks arise from managing external personnel and coordinating work. These risks often involve interference and overlap between workers from different teams and activities.
We recommend starting by identifying risks, proposing organizational measures, testing them, and discussing them with workers. This approach aims to foster a more safety-focused corporate culture without being seen as hindering production.

Some of the more immediate solutions you might consider:

• The use of sensors, instruments and cameras that can be used in addition to the machine guards
• Allow only authorized personnel trained in the residual hazards present and generated by the changing state of the machine to participate in the testing phases
• The use of temporary anchorage systems in place of ladders and Elevating Work Platforms for assembly at height in cramped areas

Request support in managing the installation phases of machines at the end customer's site

The risks that frequently arise during installation and service activities at the customer’s site are related to organization, the destination country, and the availability of equipment.

Among the most widespread issues that undermine worker health and safety:

• Solitary work
• Interference with the various client companies
• Customer-made modifications to already installed machines on which the manufacturer performs service activities
• First aid organization
• Unsuitable lifting equipment
• Difficult management of contracting firms hired by the installer
• Smog and difficulty breathing due to working in close proximity to cranes or trucks

We suggest immediately implementing improvement measures including the preliminary and systematic exchange of information between client and manufacturer, the setting up of agreements with the client by project managers, and wide-ranging staff training about the risks involved in the assembly and start-up phases.

For machine and equipment manufacturers that provide installation and after-sales service to customers worldwide, sending personnel from the parent company can be hazardous.

In addition to the tense climate in some areas of the world and the potential danger of soft targets, the concerns of many companies are also related to crime and the no less significant spread of epidemics; each of these factors can pose a threat to business expansion into new countries.

Many companies in the oil and gas industry, accustomed to operating in war zones, have hired travel security managers. These managers are often former armed forces officers with extensive experience in security matters.

We can recommend reputable security companies that offer valuable tools for assessing risks in various countries. With these tools, we help you establish authorization and management procedures for travel to unsafe regions, including evaluating activities to be undertaken in case of an emergency.
