On the other hand, ideological opposition to enforcement was also influential. As discussed previously, the newly appointed inspectors reported that, in practice, many employers accepted the need for the regulation of working conditions. This may have involved some... 

ABSTRACT Noise exposure can cause undesirable effects on both health and safety. In agricultural aviation, noise exposure is one of many factors that can affect operation safety. The aim of this study is to measure noise dose during the most common work situations. The identified noise dose levels appear far above the recommended limits, even for modern aircraft equipped with closed cockpits and air conditioning systems. These results showed that additional measures are necessary, both in noise reduction and regulation of working time. Besides, the proper use of personal protective equipment, including their regular inspection can be an important short-term measure. 

The odor threshold for detection of ethyleneimine is 2 ppm. The maximum permissible concentration of ethyleneimine in the air at the place of work is 0.5 ppm (as specified in statutory regulations in the United States (374) and in Germany (375)). Animal experiments have shown ethyleneimine to be both carcinogenic (376) and mutagenic (377) (Table 2). 

Secondary sources of data are useful when they exist. Databases (qv) of pubUshed information have been assembled, and market researchers can tap them provided their company buys the service. These databases can save the market analyst many hours of work. The services also provide much of the general sociopolitical—economic background needed, such as petroleum (qv) prices, government regulations, foreign competition, etc. 

Many components of ships and marine stmctures are now coated in the shop under controlled conditions to reduce the amount of solvents released into the atmosphere, improve the quaUty of work, and reduce cost. Regulations designed to limit the release of volatile organic compounds into the air confine methods of shop apphcation to those having transfer efficiencies of 65%. Transfer efficiency is defined as the percent of the mass or volume of sohd coating that is actually deposited on the item being coated, and is calculated as... 

Two-Roll Mills These mills contain two parallel rolls mounted in a heavy frame with provision for accurately regulating the pressure and distance between the rolls. As one pass between the rolls does little blending and only a small amount of work, the mills are practically always used as batch mixers. Only a small amount of material is in the high-shear zone at any one time. 

Galvanic or impressed current anodes are used to protect these components. The anode material is determined by the electrolyte zinc and aluminum for seawater, magnesium for freshwater circuits. Platinized titanium is used for the anode material in impressed current protection. Potential-regulating systems working independently of each other should be used for the inlet and outlet feeds of heat exchangers on account of the different temperature behavior. The protection current densities depend on the material and the medium.

A range of preeautions are based on the prineiples sutmuarized earlier. However, general preeautions, applieable to the majority of work situations, are listed in Table 6.14, many of whieh are ineluded in legal requirements. In the UK duties under the Fire Preeautions (Workplaee) (Amendment) Regulations 1999 are to ...

In the United Kingdom, the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and regulations made under it require occupiers to provide a safe plant and system of work and adequate instruction, training, and supervision. In the European community, occupiers of major hazard sites are required to produce a safety case, which describes how hazards have been assessed and are kept under control. Many other countries have similar legislation, though standards of enforcement vary.
