Issue 22: Rotating equipment
Rotating equipment comprises machinery with components designed to rotate around an axis. This is essential in industries like oil and gas, power generation and manufacturing. Examples of rotating equipment in these industries include pumps, compressors, turbines and motors. The equipment mentioned play a critical role in liquid transfer, gas compression, power generation and various manufacturing processes, often in industries we may take for granted due to not being major accident hazard sites. Maintenance and safety measures are crucial to ensure their efficient operation and reliability across diverse industrial applications and guarding the rotating axis is key to protecting people.
