We just received an email asking us to attend some training sessions which will allow us to walk around the whole site in the future. The policy here is so, that when you want to go up, even if it is only 1 meter, you need to wear a harnas. All scaffolding is prohibited aslong as you did not have the training for "confined spaces and working on heights".
Another trainingsession is provided, also tomorrow, for entering a substation. And that is kinda weird how serious they take it here. I would understand if the substations are"live", but now a great deal of them are still just empty buildings full with sand and dust. On the other hand, maybe it's better to handle these rules strictly from the start-on so no mistakes can be made afterwards. I'd agree on that.
All of us are wondering what the turn-out will be like when things start operating. Rotating equipment, valves, instrumentlines, even the few fuseboxes I saw in the plant are covered with dust and sand. Commisioning will have a hard time for sure !

This week "spring" is in the air according to the local people here. This means temperatures will start to rise (today it went up in the 30's Celsius) and a period of sandstorms will start. Amazing how fast the weather changes in these parts. I'll make sure to keep my camera with me !
