Central High School Jump Start Program Safety Training- These students are currently getting NCCER certifications in welding, electrical, and carpentry. This training will consist of 5 booths displaying scenarios that may be seen on jobsites once the students enter the workforce. We are asking for some volunteers to man the booths and assist the students on critical thinking on how they should manage risks. Also we are asking for material to create the scenarios. Anything is appreciated (damaged ladders, cords, PPE, LOTO equipment, machines with missing guards, etc.) We will ensure borrowed items are returned after the training if needed.

If you have any questions or would like to participate/donate material, please email Emma Swarner at [email protected].

Thanks to our own Dr. Lu for sharing about his Real-World-Ready class in Construction Safety. Another thanks to Chris of Cajun for his contribution to the class.

Don't forget to come out to the First GBR meeting of 2019! All students attend at no charge. See you there!

December 24, 1989
Today in 1989, an explosion at the Exxon Refinery in North Baton Rouge killed two men. frigid eight-degree temperatures on Christmas Eve caused a pipe rupture, causing one man to be killed when the concussion and fireball crushed his truck and another to die of smoke inhalation later. The blast at 1:30 on Sunday afternoon blew paint off of pipes a mile away. It was felt in Hammond and the smoke cloud that was hundreds of feet high could be seen in LaPlace. Most of giant refinery had already been shut down due to cold weather, but several tanks, pipelines, buildings and other facilities were burned or destroyed.

Don't forget to Like us. See you tomorrow!
