Energy and Resources Conservation Tips – Tool box Talks

CONSERVING WATER

Personnel primarily involved with the use of water should consider ways in order conserve and minimize water.

1. Don’t let the tap running while washing your hands.
2. Report leaks in the pipe/hose connections as soon as possible.
3. Taps should be tightly closed at all times.
4. Don’t allow water tanks to overflow.
5. During Hydro testing don’t allow discharge water to drain directly to the ground, discharge water should be collected into a tank and re-use.
6. Reuse of treated water in areas where low water quality is acceptable (e.g., floor area wash downs or ground dust suppression).
7. Use of high-pressure hose over use of low-pressure hose.

8. Avoid indiscriminate use of water for cleaning and washing.
9. Use flow restrictor on hose fittings (e.g. jet washing) and with self-sealing valves.

CONSERVING ELECTRICITY

All personnel are expected to contribute in ways to minimize unnecessary consumption of electricity.

1. Turn off lights when not in use. Use natural lighting if possible.
2. Use power saver mode on computer monitors.
3. Turn off machineries and other electrical appliances when not in use. (i.e. welding machines, blowers, fans, computers, air conditioning units etc.)
4. Regularly clean the surfaces of tube light and mercury lamps to achieve maximum illumination
5. If possible always consider low power consuming apparatus/equipment when purchasing
6. Use alternative or renewable power source like solar cells.

7. Reuse of treated water in areas where low water quality is acceptable (e.g., floor area wash downs or ground dust suppression).

CONSERVING Consumable Items

All personnel are expected to contribute to save company expenditures by:

1. Printing necessary documents in fast print mode to save on toner and inks.
2. Maximizing the use of welding rods.
3. Taking good care of provided PPE.
4. Use work equipment in appropriately to avoid damage
5. Planning yard material movements or personal associated trips so as to save on fuel.
6. Printing less important documents on used paper or printing double sided.
