• NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 2013-06: CORROSION IN FIRE PROTECTION PIPING DUE TO AIR AND WATER INTERACTION (this was a Highlighted Presentation on OEC’s April Meeting)

– More insight from Livermore Site Office• A couple of factors that may have contributed to the corrosion:

1) Compressed air is a source of water- pre-action and dry pipe systems are usually pressurized with compressed air and water eventually collects in the piping system due to poor air drying or just from long periods of supplying compressed air. Therefore, draining the system may not solve the problem, unless done frequently.

2) Potential galvanic corrosion (galvanized pipe were common for most of the cases) and use of dielectric unions should be emphasized.

• Two Bangladesh Garment Factories Fatal Events– Bangladesh Factory Collapses, April 24, 1127

fatalities.• Officials say the building's owner illegally added

three floors and allowed the garment factories to install heavy machines and generators, even though the structure was not designed to support such equipment.

• Structural issues visually apparent before the collapse.

• The disaster is the worst ever in the garment sector.

– Bangladesh Factory Fire, May 9, 8 fatalities.• A fire on the first floor fed by acrylic products.

Issues: safety problems and poor working conditions.

Bangladesh is the world's second-biggest clothing exporter that supplies global retailers- $20 Billion garment industry.

Bangladesh government has announced that unions will now be allowed and there is a possibility of raising minimum wage.

Milwaukee 18-volt, lithium-ion battery fire

A Milwaukee 18-volt, lithium-ion battery caught fire inside of an office trailer during routine charging on a Milwaukee 18v Li-ion Charger (catalog number: 48-59-1801). The charger was new and this event occurred on its initial charging sequence.  The battery involved had previously been used with a Milwaukee drill and had been charged before.  The employee verified that the battery was compatible with the charger prior to placing it on the charger. The charger indicated the battery was receiving a charge via a red-light indicator and it did not indicate a battery error.  Approximately 5 minutes into the charge cycle, the battery began to pop and smoke.  The employee saw the smoke and small flames, retrieved an ABC fire extinguisher, extinguished the flames, unplugged the charger, and placed the battery and charger outside of the office trailer.  The fire department arrived and verified that the flames were extinguished.

Milwaukee has been contacted and their representatives have stated that they have not heard of similar events with the 18-volt, lithium-ion batteries and chargers, and there are not any recalls associated with these items.  Milwaukee has requested the battery and charger be sent to them for further investigation.  Once Milwaukee receives these items and performs its investigation, any recommendations from Milwaukee will be shared with interested parties.

• Increased Near-Miss Reporting Results in

Improved Safety Performance (EHS Today article)– Companies that focus on leading indicators, such as near miss

reporting, show improved organizational safety performance. – Near Miss Reporting – a Missing Link in Safety Culture, a peer-

reviewed feature in the May issue of Professional Safety, examines several studies that have shown that near misses greatly outnumber serious accidents involving fatality, injury or property damage.

– To achieve a culture-based safety system:–Define expectations that all employees report unsafe conditions or perceived

risks–Provide employees with safety training–Provide measurement for how near-miss reporting has improved safety

performance–Recognize and reward employees and crews for pro-active safety actions.
