There are some serious safety problems and many of the plants around the world are united around that issue.

SIL 2 systems are meeting a growing number of safety system requirements in process plants as users are trying to reduce the hazards in their plants to acceptable levels. Many companies have determined that if an operation requires a SIL 3 rating, then it's too hazardous and needs to be redesigned. After working to reduce the risks in their plants to SIL 2 or lower, customers are then looking to optimize their investments in safety related systems with the appropriate level of risk reduction. In these applications, a SIL 2 safety system provides a very cost effective solution.

It's understandable that there would be transition problems, but we have to have a contingency plan in place to ensure that people's lives are not disrupted and damaged.

That's very unusual and a red flag that there's some safety problems at that mine.

Most of the vegetation around the world follows a general pattern in which plants get green and lush during the rainy season, and then during the dry season, leaves fall because there?s not enough water in the soil to support plant growth.

This will hopefully alleviate some of the congestion problems and safety issues in the area.
