044 Shell promotes health to 5,000 craft at the Deer Park Refinery turnaround

No Harm Health and Safety Podcast

On the last two episodes of my podcast, I brought you stories from the Big Block Turnaround at the Shell Deer Park refinery near Houston, Texas. I promised you more, so here we go. In episode 43 we’re going to get into some of the health topics that were being promoted at the turnaround. Every day for four weeks, the health team at Deer Park visited the various lunch tents to do presentations, have educational contests and give away fun prizes. There were four big topics … one for each week. There was heat and hydration, sleep and fatigue, nutrition, and finally, physical activity and exercise. I was really impressed to see first hand how the craft contractors at the turnaround reacted to these lunch events. They learned a lot and had a great time with the contests and prizes. - marv ------------------------------------- No Harm is the health and safety podcast for HSE professionals.
