Integrated Safety, Security Plan Catches Threats, Potential Incidents
By Gregory Hale
Summer was in true form in Michigan a few years ago on a warm Saturday evening in June. But for quite a few workers at a major U.S. auto manufacturer, that idyllic setting had an abrupt ending at 5 p.m. when they fell victim to the Slammer worm.
A SQL patch had been available to take care of the worm for the previous six months, but the automaker did not apply it to their systems. The system is running fine, they probably thought, so why apply a patch? The worm...

Integrated Safety, Security Unify Workers, Technology
By Gregory Hale
Abu Dhabi Gas Development Company knew they had to hike the domestic gas supply in the Emirate, so they created the Shah Gas Development Project. When it reaches full production in 2014, the site will process 1 billion cubic feet of gas per day.
But there is a catch.
The site, which Abu Dhabi Gas has owned for over 40 years, has dangerously high levels of hydrogen sulfide. This prevented the subsidiary of Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC) from extracting the gas a long time ago. That energy source is increasingly vital for...

Sometimes a Contentious Path, But There is a Solution
By Gregory Hale
Oftentimes there is a misconception on just what the true mission is for a manufacturer.
In the manufacturing automation sector the simple fact is the goal is for the company to safely and securely produce their product in a productive and profitable manner. The route it takes to get there is often very complicated, but the manufacturer needs to generate revenue and keep turning a profit. To keep adding positive results to the bottom line, manufacturers need to ensure everyone is working from the same play book to ensure avoidable...

These Vital Disciplines Need to Secure Plant from Cyber Incidents
“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee." -- John Donne (1572-1631)By Gregory Hale In the wee hours...

Refinery, Pipeline Contractor Need Extra Layer of Protection for Any Emergency Situation
By Gregory Hale
Reliance Industries and the main contractor working on the BTC pipeline, Tekfen Construction & Installation Co., couldn’t be further apart in the oil and gas spectrum.
Reliance, a relatively new refinery in India, wanted to add capacity, while the BTC pipeline is the second longest pipeline in the world that needed a way to protect its marine terminal in Turkey. Both are different in design, but similar in that they needed a fire and gas system to protect against potential disasters.
Taking a look at the BTC pipeline...

Safety Should Come First, That’s Why an Integrated Safety Shutdown System and Fire and Gas System Keep Disaster at Bay
By Ged Farnaby and Gregory Hale
Just about five years ago a huge fireball lifted the lid off the Buncefield Oil Storage Depot in Hertfordshire, England. The disaster that struck early that December 11, 2005 morning left 43 hospitalized and an entire nation in shock.
When you look back at it, the disaster started long before the actual 6:01 a.m. blast. At 7 p.m. the night before workers started filling Tank 912 with unleaded fuel. At midnight the terminal closed, and...
