 What are rare
earths
Rare Earths are a moderately abundant group of 15 metallic elements known as the
Lanthanide series (atomic numbers 57 through to 71) plus Yttrium (39). Although
Scandium (atomic number 21) is not a Rare Earth element, it is commonly included
with the Lanthanides because of its similar properties.
The 15 lanthanides arerepresented by the single square of lanthanum in the main
part of the periodic table and listed in a separate sub group below the main
groupings.

They range in crustal abundance from cerium, the most abundant, at 60 parts per
million, which is in fact more abundant than nickel or copper, to thulium and lutetium,
the least abundant Rare Earth element at about 0.5 parts per million.

Commitment to HSE principles:

TAKE TIME to assess risks and work safely
STOP work or the work of others if it is
unsafe or environmentally unacceptable
INTERVENE if a hazard is seen
FOLLOW HSE guidelines and procedures
PROCEED only if you are TRAINED,
PROTECTED, and have a PLAN - and are in
the right STATE OF MIND.
REPORT all incidents/near misses
immediately and INVESTIGATE causes
 STEP BACK A Pre-Task Review

Step Back A three step process that takes 5 minutes and may safe your life

1. Planning the job

Stop and look around, observe the job site and area
Think about what you intend to do, whats involved and what might change whilst you are working?
Whats the main risks or hazards you may encounter?
Consider how those hazards could hurt you or others?
Think about how you can/will control those hazards so that they dont hurt anyone?

THINK Do I need to do a HIRA?

Ask yourselfIf I cant control the hazards, Should I be doing this job?

2. During the job observe the work area. Think About

Have I created additional hazards in doing this job?

Are my actions impacting on other people?
How well is the job going, are the risks under control?
Is there a better or safer way of doing this job?

3. After the job reflect on how it went

Did you control the hazards?

Would you do the job the same way next time?
Should you discuss this job and your experience with others say at a toolbox meeting?
 IT IS BETTER TO CHECK

100 TIMES THAT YOU ARE SAFE

THAN TO BE KILLED ONCE.

Help yourself and others to be safe.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.

WORK SMART & WORK SAFELY
we will achieve our mutual goal of:

ZERO HARM
 Permit To Work
You need a permit for:
confined space entry
hotwork
working near power lines
excavations
 Permit To Work
The objectives of a PERMIT TO WORK system are to:-

Define the nature of the work.

Define the hazards associated with it.
Assess the hazards associated with the work.
Define the timing as to when it can be safely
carried out.
Specify the precautions to be taken before
starting, during execution and on completion of
the work.
Provide a record of how the work is being done.
Ensure proper authorization is given to carry out
the work.

been ruled out
A permit is issued
Permit is communicated
to all affected personnel
Permit is posted as
required
All persons involved are
competent to do the work
 Confined Space
Entry
All sources of energy
affecting the space
have been isolated
Atmosphere testing is
conducted, verified and
repeated
Stand-by person is
stationed at the
confined space entry at
all times
Unauthorized entry is
prohibited
 Reporting of Incidents

All incidents should be

immediately reported to
your Supervisor and
investigated.
If you see an unsafe act
or condition let your
Supervisor know.
 Fire Prevention
WHAT IS FIRE?
To sustain, fire requires three components to be present.

FUEL OXYGEN

Fire Tiangle

SOURCE OF IGNITION

All three elements must be present BEFORE combustion will occur.

If one or more elements is removed combustion will not happen or
cease.

Good housekeeping will remove fuel in many instances

 Fire Extinguishers
There are 4 main types of fire
extinguisher

Water
Red body with white label

Foam or AFFF
Blue Body

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Red Body with 5% of the
cylinder to be Black

Dry Powder
Red Body with 5% of the
cylinder to be Blue
 Fire Classification
There are 4 classes of fire which are
categorised

Class A - Solid Organic Materials, e.g.

Paper, wood, textiles, etc.

Class B - Liquid and Molten solids, e.g.

Petrol, oil, fats, etc.

Class C - Flammable gases, e.g. Acetylene,

Propane, Natural Gas, etc.

Class D - Metals, usually in powder form,

e.g.
Aluminium, Magnesium, etc.

Electrical fires - although not classified

separately, electrical fires present
particular problems
 WHICH EXTINGUISHER FOR
WHAT FIRE?
Water - Suitable for Class A fires ONLY, i.e. Paper, wood fires
Range: 6 Metres
Duration: 70 Seconds

Foam -Suitable for Class A & B fires ONLY, i.e. Paper, and oil fires
Range: 4 Metres
Duration: 45 Seconds

CO2 -Suitable for Class B & C fires ONLY, i.e. Oil & gas fires
Range: 2 Metres
Duration: 25 Seconds

Dry Powder - Suitable for All Classes of fire

Range: 5 Metres
Duration: 20 Seconds

Using the wrong extinguisher can make things worse

 Fire Prevention
Do not attempt to fight a fire
unless you are certain of your own safety

Before Fighting the fire raise the alarm!

Can you isolate the source safely? If you cant then leave it.
Assess the size of the fire. Anything larger than a waste paper bin
fire can quickly get out of hand.
Make absolutely certain you can escape if the fire becomes too
large to handle.
Make sure you know the correct extinguisher to use.

If you are in any doubt, evacuate the area

and leave it to the professionals

REMEMBER SMOKE KILLS !

 Chemical Spills
The key to prevention of spills is
good housekeeping which can be
achieved by:
s p i ll,
Maintain the work area in a clean
u p the ,
and orderly condition. Cl e an b l e m
h e p ro
Regular and frequent inspections. fix t o r t it
rep
Appropriate safeguards.
Every time you use them, check:
hose and coupling condition,
bunds condition and shut off valves,
spill control equipment, drains &
interceptors
 Spill Response

If you have a spill:

Control the source of the spill if safe to do so.
Raise the alarm and alert people working in
the vicinity of any potential dangers.
If safe, contain the spill using absorbent
sheeting to avoid chemicals entering drains.
Do not spread or flush the spill away.
Cover or protect vulnerable drains or
drainage lines.
Inform supervisor and HSE Department of
the spill and raise Incident Report
 Drugs & Alcohol
Policy
