Job 1: Installation of a High-Pressure Piping System In this task, I installed a high-pressure piping system in a manufacturing facility. Before starting, I reviewed all safety protocols, including the company’s health and safety guidelines, relevant risk assessments, and the necessary permits to work. I also verified that I had all necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensured the work area was secure and accessible only to authorized personnel. Upon starting, I assessed the workspace for potential hazards, particularly noting any chemical exposure risks and obstructions. I communicated the potential hazards to team members and ensured hazard controls were in place, such as barriers and warning signs around the work area. I handled and positioned all components precisely following the engineering drawings, observing the strict tolerances required for the system’s safe operation. Throughout the installation, I adhered to proper lifting techniques and used approved tools to minimize any physical strain or risk of injury. After completing the assembly, I conducted a final inspection, confirming all connections met quality standards and recorded all necessary documentation, ensuring compliance with the quality assurance procedures. I left the work area clean and reinstated it for the next shift, contributing to a safe and efficient environment.

Job 2: Routine Maintenance on Cooling Water Pipes In this maintenance task, I was responsible for inspecting and replacing sections of cooling water pipes that showed signs of corrosion. First, I conducted a point-of-work risk assessment to identify any hazards specific to the maintenance location, including possible slips due to wet surfaces and electrical hazards from nearby equipment. After obtaining the necessary permit to work, I set up barriers around the area and wore PPE as required by site regulations. Using the appropriate tools, I carefully removed the damaged pipe sections, ensuring that no additional stress was applied to surrounding joints. I marked the new pipe sections precisely, following the isometric drawings and specifications. Throughout the task, I kept team members updated on progress and safety protocols, maintaining open lines of communication. Once the replacements were complete, I conducted a thorough inspection and verified that all connections were secure. I then filled out the documentation to report on the completed work and confirmed with my supervisor that the site was ready for operational testing. The work area was cleaned and organized, leaving it in a safe condition for future use. This task reinforced the importance of following safety procedures and quality standards to ensure reliable and safe system performance.

Job 2: Routine Maintenance on Cooling Water Pipes

Preparation and Planning: "I started by doing a Point-of-Work Risk Assessment (POWRA) to spot any hazards, like tools left in the wrong place or trip hazards around the work area. I also checked my PPE—gloves, safety glasses, and boots—to make sure everything was good to go. After inspecting my tools to make sure they were safe, I put together a step-by-step plan for the installation. I shared this during a toolbox talk with the group, explained how we’d approach the task, and answered any questions to make sure we were all on the same page." Installation Execution: "When it came to the installation, I followed the isometric drawings closely, making sure the pipes were aligned and the dimensions matched what was required. During the task, I noticed one section of the pipe wasn’t lining up properly. I suggested a small adjustment to fix it, got it checked off by the instructor, and made sure everyone else knew about the change. I also tried to reuse any leftover material wherever I could and disposed of waste properly to keep things tidy and sustainable." Inspection and Quality Assurance: "Once the pipes were installed, I used a checklist to go through and inspect the system. I found a small leak in one of the flange connections during the pressure test. To fix it, I tightened the connection and retested it to make sure the leak was gone. I recorded everything in the quality assurance log so there was a clear record of what I’d done and the steps I’d taken to fix the issue." Reporting and Handover: "After finishing the task, I wrote up a report with all the key details, like the risk assessment, inspection results, and how I thought the job went overall. I shared this during a handover discussion with the instructor, where I explained what had been done, what went well, and where improvements could be made. This helped the next team prepare for their part of the process." Reflection on Ethics and Environmental Impact: "In the debrief, I talked about how I’d focused on minimizing waste and making sure everything was done safely and neatly. I also reflected on the responsibility we have as pipefitters to make sure the systems we install are reliable and safe because mistakes could cause real problems for people in the future."

This is me fitting the 2” carbon steel valve into the high-pressure steam pipeline, ensuring it’s properly aligned and that the flow direction matches the planned specifications. I’ve double-checked the handle orientation and am strictly following all safety guidelines. Using the appropriate tools and PPE, I’m securing the valve and preparing it for the quality inspection to confirm that everything meets the required standards.
