At 9.15 a.m., we had a meeting with the operators as usual. Tee informed us that one operator was cut by the sharp protruded edge of a metal insulation pipe during cleaning. He wanted us to learn from this lesson and advised the operators always to identify and report any hazards in their working areas as soon as possible to prevent any accidents.

At 9.30 a.m., Satiya asked me to bring personnel to collect the water sample from the final discharge point. This is a weekly task conducted by the agent to collect the final discharge sample for monitoring the parameters of discharged water and to be reported to DOE.

At 10.00 a.m., Vasu explained to me the structure and piping of the sludge silo which is located near the WWTP control room. However, there was a leakage of sludge from one of the outlets of the silo. He suspected that one of the gate valves had been accidentally opened. He was water spraying on the floor to remove the overflow sludge.

Later Tee had told me that I am allowed to enter the installation site of DPRS from today onwards to trace the piping and flows. However, a safety helmet and reflective vest must be worn at all times when entering the site. He then gave me a reflective vest.

At 11.30 a.m., I went back to the office and updated the P&ID of WWTP based on the data obtained just now.

At 2.45 p.m. onwards, a mechanic was repairing the surface skimmer of the second clarifier as the blade was bent and hit with a scum baffle. The rotating skimmer was stopped and locked using a lockout & tag-out (LOTO) device to avoid any accident in case of unintentionally switching on the machine.
