More recently, in the middle 1990s, the UK s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) also reviewed the push-pull system. Hollis and Fletcher offer a comprehensive literature review on push-pull ventilation and note that the main conclusions of previous work on push-pull ventilation of tanks are that the control is primarily supplied by the inlet jet, forming a wall jet along the surface of the tank, and that the main purpose of the exhaust hood is to remove the air and contaminant contained within the push jet. 

FIGURE >0.70 The capture of tracer gas released at five times the diameter of the exhaust inlet when the radius of the exhaust hood is 0. tS m, the radius of the exhaust hood inlet is 0.037 m, and the width of the exhaust jet is 8.0 mm. fej Suction alone with average inlet velocity of 12.7 m s.

Unfortunately, deaths occur every year in industry due to accidents that are preventable. Accidents are more likely to occur where firms are under pressure to meet targets, and safety measures tend to be ignored. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) was set up to administer the Health and Safety at Work, etc. Act 1974 and incorporates...
