Study Notes
Machine Guarding
- Statutory provisions govern machine guarding principles.
- Types of guards, their design and selection, are crucial.
- Specific guarding precautions apply to woodworking, paper, rubber, and printing machinery, as well as machine tools.
- Built-in safety devices are essential.
- Maintenance and repair of guards, incidental safety devices, and tools are vital for safety.
Manual Handling and Storage of Materials
- Hazards exist in manual material handling, especially excessive muscular effort.
- Kinetic methods improve lifting technique for safer handling.
- Maximum safe loads for carrying vary based on object characteristics (shape, size, weight).
- Using correct accessories for handling enhances safety.
- Safe material storage procedures are necessary.
Mechanical Handling of Materials
- Lifting machinery (cranes, elevators, conveyors, dumpers, pay loaders) require specific safety considerations during design, construction, and testing.
- Operator training on safe operation, signaling, inspection, and maintenance for lifting machinery is critical.
- Power trucks and tractors require safety features in design, construction, safe operation, and maintenance.
- Lifting tackles (chain slings, rope slings, fiber and wire rings, hooks, shackles, swivels, eye bolts) have salient safety features. Safe working loads must be calculated.
Hand Tools and Portable Power Tools
- Tool accidents stem from various causes, which require control measures.
- Centralized tool control systems are beneficial.
- Tool purchase, storage, and supply procedures need careful planning.
- Inspections, maintenance, and repair of tools are essential.
- Tool failure causes need identification and solutions (tempering, safe ending, and dressing).
- Tool handles contribute to safe use.
- Numerous hand tools (metal cutting, wood cutting, miscellaneous cutting, material handling, torsion tools, shock tools, non-sparking tools) and portable power tools require specific selection, inspection, maintenance, and repair for safety.
Electrical Hazards
- Electricity poses significant dangers.
- Safety limits for amperage, voltage, and safe distances from lines are critical factors.
- Conductor capacity, protection, joints, and connections are essential aspects.
- Power cutting-off mechanisms are crucial.
- Overload and short circuit protection, earth fault protection, and earth/insulation/continuity tests are necessary safety measures.
- Overvoltage hazards from borrowed neutrals require careful precautions.
- Portable electrical apparatus (flameproof) should adhere to safety standards during selection, installation, and use.
- Electricians play a critical role in controlling electrical accidents.
Industrial Lighting
- Adequate lighting is essential for worker safety and productivity.
- Suitable lighting sources and types (artificial) are important.
- Good illumination principles and recommended minimum illumination standards govern lighting design.
- Proper maintenance of lighting installations is critical.
Safety of Pressure Vessels
- Statutory regulations and testing requirements cover both fired and unfired pressure vessels.
- Diverse testing methods are employed.
- Design and construction aspects of safety are paramount.
- Safety in boilers, safety precautions, and boiler operation are key considerations.
Ventilation and Heat Control
- Ventilation aims to control the thermal environment for worker comfort.
- Thermal environment measurements, physiology of heat regulation, thermal comfort, indices of heat stress, and thermal limits are key considerations.
- Natural ventilation, mechanical ventilation, air conditioning, and process ventilation techniques exist for effective control of heat exposure.
Housekeeping
- The 5S concept (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) is crucial to workplace safety.
- Management responsibility, safety engineers' involvement, proper planning, follow-up, and cooperation are essential for effective housekeeping.
- Accidents from poor housekeeping and its typical items are addressed.
- Scrap and waste disposal methods and spill prevention are emphasized.
- Marking gangways and locations, using colors, clean-up campaigns, cleaning methods, employee assignments, inspection, and checklists are beneficial.
Special Precautions
- Working at height and in confined spaces require special precautions, including work permits.
Laws and Regulations
- Relevant provisions of the Factories Act, Indian Electricity Act, Explosive Act, and Gas Cylinders Rules.
