We are incredibly proud of our team members who go above and beyond, not just in their work, but in their hearts.

A huge shoutout and thank you to Rodney Davis, our Divisional Service Lead for Mining, who contributed his own money to support the Mining for Miracles event at Fording River. Rodney, your generosity and commitment to this cause is a true reflection of the values we stand for as a company.

Thank you for setting such an amazing example for all of us. We are lucky to have you on our team! 🙌

Most mining operations don’t have a maintenance problem. They have a buildup problem.
Grease, mud, and hydrocarbons slow equipment down, hide issues, and lead to costly downtime.
On-site steam cleaning fixes that by keeping equipment clean during scheduled maintenance, without pulling it off-site.
Result:
faster inspections
fewer breakdowns
lower maintenance costs

At Irwin’s Safety, we deploy steam cleaning trailers directly to mining sites and integrate them into your workflow.

Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) in Industrial Shutdowns: Practical Controls to Prevent Costly Failures

Learn how to effectively implement Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) controls in industrial shutdowns to prevent costly failures and ensure safety.

04/29/2026

Foreign Material Exclusion (FME)
A single oversight is enough. A dropped bolt. A misplaced rag. A loose tool. A temporary cover left in place.

History has shown the consequences. In 1995 at Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station, a forgotten cover was drawn into the system during restart, resulting in severe pump damage and significant financial loss.

At the Sayano-Shushenskaya Dam, failures in maintenance control contributed to one of the most serious turbine incidents on record.

Most FME failures do not make headlines. They present as equipment damage, delayed startups, forced outages, and costly repairs. At Irwin’s Safety, FME has never been positioned as a standalone or optional service. It is embedded in how shutdown work is executed properly.

Each facility operates differently. Internal procedures, OEM requirements, and project-specific controls vary. Our role is to integrate into those systems while maintaining a consistent standard of ex*****on. Precision, accountability, and a clear understanding of operational risk. This approach has supported the protection of critical assets across projects nationwide.

If your next outage or maintenance project requires dependable FME support, connect with our Construction and Maintenance Division. https://hubs.ly/Q04dX9880
