Information work equipment

Use Fishbone diagrams to identify all the process needs. This will draw heavily on the work to identify the PSM and ESH programs and elements and the Quality Management requirements. It will also identify any special expertise, information or equipment needs. Fishboning is described in several of the quality management references given in Chapter 1, and an example is provided in Exhibit 5-4. 

An efficient work order system that provides adequate description of work to be performed, the parts required, and the procedures to be followed. This work order system should also document completed work information in equipment history files. 

This reference discusses new uses for UV and EB irradiation, the response of polymers to irradiation, and tests related to dosimetry and radiometry, as well as safety and hygiene. It is also fortified with new problems and worked solutions, in addition to useful figures and tables, and appendices with supplementary information on equipment manufacturers, raw materials suppliers, and principles of green chemistry and sustainability.

Collection of information about the workplaces, tasks to be performed, work equipment and processes, matoials and chemical substances involved, assigned persoimel. 

Information and instruction on use of the work equipment - including instruction sheets, manuals or warning labels from manufacturers or suppliers. Adequate training for the purposes of health and safety in the use of specific work equipment. 

I have tried to present the guidelines for procurement of the various equipments and systems by referring to the information/working principles of the various equipments uploaded on the Internet by above renowned manufacturers. However, the reader is advised to contact these eompanies for more detailed proprietory information and procuring the required equipments as per need... 

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) require, amongst other things, that all machinery is suitable for its intended use and is properly maintained, and that employees, including those using, mounting and managing the operation of abrasive wheels, are fully informed and properly trained in their use. 

Employers and the self-employed must ensure that work equipment is suitable maintained inspected if necessary provided with adequate information and instruction and only used by people who have received sufficient training. 

Any persons who supervise the use of work equipment should also receive information, instruction and training. The training of young persons is especially important with the need for special risk assessments under the Management Regulations. 

Suitable information and instruction must be given to those who use the work equipment but the obligation has been extended to cover foreseeable abnormal use of the equipment (reg. 8). Any such information and instruction must be comprehensible to the recipients making allowance for different assimilation abilities and also those whose first language is not English. Similarly, operators must be trained (reg. 9) to use the equipment safely and any supervision provided must be familiar with and competent in its safe use. 

The ontology of Safety-II is consistent with the fact that many socio-technical systems have become so complicated that work situations are always underspecified, hence partially unpredictable. Because most socio-technical systems are intractable, work conditions will nearly always differ from what has been specified or prescribed. This means that little, if anything, can be done unless work - tasks and tools - are adjusted so that they correspond to the situation. Performance variability is not only normal and necessary but also indispensable. The adjustments are made by people individually and collectively, as well as by the organisation itself. Everyone, from bottom to top, must adjust what they do to meet existing conditions (resources and requirements). Because the resources of work (time, information, materials, equipment, the presence and availability of other people) are finite, such adjustments will always be approximate rather than perfect. The approximation means that there is inevitably a small discrepancy between what ideally should have been done, or the perfect adjustment, and what is actually done. Yet the discrepancy is usually so small that it has no negative consequences or can be compensated for by downstream adjustments. This is so regardless of whether the discrepancy is found in one s own work or in the work of others. 

In order to reduce the risks associated with work equipment, all persons, including operatives, supervisors, service engineers and cleaners, must be provided with adequate information and instruction covering the safe use of the work equipment. 

From the manufacturer/supplier - suppliers or manufacturers of work equipment should in all cases provide some basic safety information as required by section 6 of HSWA. In addition they may also provide specialist training either on or off site for more complex equipment or tasks, e.g. the servicing of pressure vessels... 

From the user - it is sometimes the case that larger companies will have a training department that will ensure that professional and competent trainers provide initial and routine information, instruction and training to all those who use work equipment... 

Failure to provide appropriate work equipment > Inadequate information to/training of employees >- Failure to actively monitor the workplace. 

Measures taken to eliminate or reduce risk >- Sufficient information to show that the workplace and work equipment will be safe from risk of fire and explosion during operation and maintenance >- Details of any areas zoned as hazardous due to the likely presence of explosive atmospheres >- Where employers share a workplace, any special measures to ensure coordination of safety requirements to protect workers from explosive atmospheres. 

Under previous legislation, the employer s liability for injuries to employees was limited to cases where the employer had failed to ensure that employees were not required to lift a load so heavy as to be likely to cause injury to him (her) . In addition, the general duty of care required the employer to take reasonable steps to provide a safe system of work, place of work and safe work equipment. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 are much less specific, and do not contain a Regulation barring their use in civil claims. More information on the... 

Users and supervisors of work equipment must have available to them adequate health and safety information and, where appropriate, specific written instructions pertaining to the use of the equipment (Regulation 8). User and supervisor training, including work methods, risks and precautions, are covered in Regulation 9. Some specific training which is referred to in the Approved Code of Practice includes young persons, and operators of self-propelled work equipment and chainsaws. 

Exposure of a person using work equipment to specified hazards must be prevented by the employer as far as is reasonably practicable, or adequately controlled where it is not (Regulation 12). The protection is to be by provision of personal protective equipment or of information, instruction, training and supervision so far as is reasonably practicable, and is to include measures to minimise the effects of the hazard as well as to reduce the risk. The specified hazards are ... 

This opens perspectives for obtaining phase contrast information in a microfocus tomographic system Recently we have developed a desktop X-ray microtomographic system [4] with a spot size of 8 micrometer (70 KeV) and equipped with a (1024) pixel CCD, lens coupled to a scintillator. The system is now commercially available [5], The setup is sketched in Figure 1 In this work we used the system to demonstrate the feasibility for phase contrast microtomography. 

Appropriate protective clothing and equipment should be worn to minimize exposure to methacrylate liquids and vapors. Chemically resistant clothes and gloves and splash-proof safety goggles ate recommended. The working area should be adequately ventilated to limit vapors. Should chemical exposure occur, contaminated clothing should be removed and the affected area washed with copious amounts of water. Medical attention should be sought if symptoms appear. Eurther information about methyl methacrylate and other methacrylates is available (141).
