Accident Investigation Techniques
-
Purpose of accident investigation is to determine the cause of the accident and prevent future accidents
-
Fact-finding, interviews, and problem-solving techniques are used in accident investigation
-
Report of investigation must be written and include recommendations for prevention### Ventilation
-
The purpose of ventilation is to remove contaminants from the air and provide a healthy working environment.
-
There are three types of ventilation: general ventilation, dilution ventilation, and local (exhaust) ventilation.
General Concepts of Ventilation
- Ventilation involves the movement of air into and out of a space to remove contaminants and provide a healthy environment.
- Key factors to consider in ventilation include air flow, pressure, and velocity.
Calculations in Ventilation
- Calculating volumetric air flow involves determining the volume of air moving through a space.
- Calculating static pressure, velocity pressure, and total pressure involves understanding the forces acting on air as it moves.
- Calculating velocity of air involves determining the speed at which air moves.
- Calculating purge rates involves determining the rate at which air is replaced in a space.
- Calculating steady-state concentration involves determining the equilibrium concentration of a contaminant in a space.
Local Exhaust Ventilation
- Local exhaust ventilation involves capturing and removing contaminants at the source using devices such as hoods, ducts, and fans.
- Types of hoods include canopy, down draft, enclosure, and receiving hoods.
- Calculating hood entry losses involves determining the resistance to air flow into a hood.
- Calculating air flow velocity involves determining the speed at which air moves through a duct.
- Calculating capture velocity for plain opening hoods involves determining the speed at which air is captured by the hood.
Ventilation Measurement Equipment
- Pitot tubes, rotating vane anemometers, and thermal anemometers are used to measure air flow and velocity.
Key Information to Remember on Ventilation
- Ventilation is critical for maintaining a healthy working environment.
- Understanding the principles of air movement and calculation methods is essential for effective ventilation design.
ASP/CSP Examination
- The ASP/CSP examination is a certification process for safety professionals.
- The examination blueprint includes domains such as mathematics, safety management systems, ergonomics, and more.
Preparing for the ASP/CSP Examinations
- Preparing for the examination involves knowing your strengths and weaknesses, developing a study plan, and using test-taking strategies.
