Environmental factors working equipment

Different people in the same environment, the same people in different environments may have different responses to environmental factors, work method of this external from the working environment, the working state of the equipment, working effect, other leaders. These factors are the mine operators to produce certain effect, because of the existence of individual differences between man and man different people face environment will respond differently, thus forms the operator behavior of coal mine underground uncertainty. 

For most chemists, the laboratory they work in will already be organized when they arrive. Everything will have been sited - hopefully in the correct place. This should not be taken for granted. Consistent poor performance of a particular piece of equipment should lead the analyst to question whether the environment might be the cause of the fault. The key message is to be aware which environmental factors will lead to poor performance in a particular method or in a piece of equipment.

Electrical accidents on construction sites are almost always caused by unsafe equipment and/or installations, unsafe workplaces caused by environmental factors, or rmsafe work practices. Protection from electrical hazards is one way to prevent accidents. According to OSHA, protective methods that may be employed on your jobsite include insulation, electrical protective devices, guarding, grounding, personal protective equipment (PPE), and safe work practices. 

When working with electricity, accidents and injuries are caused by one or more of the following factors (1) unsafe equipment and/or installation, (2) unsafe workplaces caused by environmental factors, (3) unsafe work practices. 

A study on deaths related to welding/cutting incidents (OSHA, 1989) revealed that of 200 deaths over an 11-year period, 80% were caused by failure to practice safe work procedures. Surprisingly, only 11% of deaths involved malfunctioning or failed equipment, and only 4% were related to environmental factors. The implications of this study should be obvious ... 

Individuals are nof only held accoxmtable, perhaps even "disciplined," for their own injuries but also for fhe injuries of others, even employees outside their immediate work group. They are often blamed for injuries caused by a number of factors outside their control, such as at-risk environmental conditions or equipment, excessive workloads, system contingencies causing a fast work pace, and a culture that supports "rugged individualism" and thwarts group cohesion and a "brothers/sisters keepers" perspective. 

The classification of factors is divided into 4 categories individual, task, equipment, and environmental factors. The analysis of the factors directs the approach to the course of events which again is based on the specific work analysis. 

The series of standards presented in this paper provides a useful package for assessment and design of HVAC systems and protective equipment to be used in moderate, cold, and hot environments. The standards may be used to estimate the optimal combination of environmental thermal factors that will provide comfortable or tolerable healthy working conditions. The standards may also be used to establish optimal work/rest schedules for environments where the working time must be limited owdng to strain on the human body. Several of these standards are being adopted as national standards in several countries. 

Deep compaction processes begin with field investigations which delineate the zones where improvement is desirable, and possibly indicate the degree of improvement needed as well as means to measure improvement. Environmental and economic factors then determine the type of equipment and process to be used. Field tests conducted near or at the conclusion of the field work assess the degree of improvement attained. 

The key to effective laboratory work is the planning and organization of the experimental work prior to commencement. A major factor associated with the planning process involves the preparation of a clean work environment and equipment. It is also important during the laboratory work to conform to good housekeeping, i.e. clean and store equipment appropriately after use so that it is ready for future work. Contamination is often the unseen barrier for all environmental analyses and can lead to false results being obtained. 

Figure 4.1 illustrates the nature of a job s safety risk profile, and what an employee can potentially encounter when they begin a new job. Education, experience, and training can prepare a new employee for normal and known safety risks. However, a number of other factors can add safety risks to a job. Figure 4.1 shows a number of these factors equipment safety issues, task assignment, workload and performance requirements, scheduling and work hours, environmental variance, co-worker behavior, supervision, and employee silence and safety voice. These...
