Overall management is critical. RSI has proven expertise, from designing systems and procedures for unusually challenging jobs, to directing the efforts of the many personnel involved.
Safety is the most important aspect of any job RSI does. Careful pre-job planning, expert supervision, and on-site safety meetings help assure the safe completion of every assignment. Video monitors, back-up safetymen and equipment, and RSI training assures a safely completed job.
 All RSI personnel involved in handling hazardous materials have completed a five-step qualification program, including a 24-hour workshop designed to meet OSHA requirements, and participate annually in a ten-hour refresher course. They must also pass a physical examination to meet OSHA requirements. To name just a few of the subjects covered, RSI in-house training includes: Respiratory Protection, Fall Protection, Confined Space Hazards and Entry, Forklift Operation, and Hazard Communication.

| History of Catalyst Handling | |
Reactor Services International Inc.

| Back in the early 1960s, refinery and chemical processes were becoming more complex. The changing complexity required catalysts capable of providing greater yields while operating under more severe conditions. The severity of the production runs caused the reactor units to change with greater frequency. These more expensive catalysts were often re-usable, but required careful handling. The traditional programme during a shutdown and after regeneration, was to dump the catalyst into the bucket on a front-end loader and take it to another site for screening by hand. It was important to treat the....[more] | |
