Work equipment users’ responsibilities

Even when the time comes to make a purchasing decision, an energy-efficient motor purchase is not a certainty. Sometimes an energy-efficient motor will be the economically efficient choice at other times, not. The capital investment decision is based on the cost in relation to performance, efficiency and reliability. Moreover, the decision depends on the application and the amount of time the motor is in operation. It can be the major component of a product (drill or mixer), or a minor component (computer disk drive) it can be the major component cost of a product (fan), or it can be a minor component cost (stereo tape deck) it can run almost constantly (fan, pump, and machinery), or only a few minutes a day (vacuums and power tools). For example, contractors purchase circular saws almost solely based on performance and reliability. Time is money, and since the saw is operating only a few minutes a day and the contractor is often not responsible for the electricity costs to run the motor, energy efficiency is not a consideration performance and reliability are what matter most. On the other hand, an industrial user, who runs huge electric motors twenty-four hours a day to work pumps, machinery, and ventilation equipment, is very concerned tvitli energy efficiency as well as performance and reliability. 

The supplier s Project and Qnality Plans specify project responsibilities, procedures, and deliverable documentation. The supplier s scope of work usually revolves around Design and Development, Coding, Configuration and Bnild, and Development Testing. The URS and User Qualification may also be specified in the plans as reqnested by a pharmacentical or healthcare company. The supplier firm should be encouraged to include a statement of its development capability for the service or equipment they are providing. This statement conld be based on a firm s ISO 9000 accreditation. Resumes of key staff should be available to support the capability statement. 

An electrochemical process can be considered as a "black box" with electrical response to excitation signals and therefore it is possible to study electrochemical processes with electrical measurenaent instruments. At the moment there are several commercial systems available, which contain both the equipment and necessary software. If a commercial system meets users, technical and economical needs, it is advisable to choose it. A conunercial systemcanbe installed and put to work much faster than a sel -built system. However, if the system is self-tailored, it will usually be more suitable to particular requirements. A self-made system with personal computer, adequate I/O cards and own software provides flexibility. When developing a selfbuilt system one has to choose the equipment with cewe and ensure compatibility. When choosing measurement units it is often wise to buy from big manufacturers in order to ensure reliable maintenance, installation and operational instructions. 

A quarter of all serious electrical accidents involve portable electrical appliances that is, equipment which has a cable lead and plug and which is normally moved around or can easily be moved from place to place. This includes, for example, floor cleaners, kettles, heaters, portable power tools, fans, televisions, desk lamps, photocopiers, fax machines and desktop computers. There is a requirement under the Health and Safety at Work Act for employers to take adequate steps to protect users of portable appliances from the hazards of electric shock and fire. The responsibility for safety applies equally to small as well as large companies. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 also place a duty of care upon employers to ensure that the risks associated with the use of electrical equipment are controlled. 

Simplified mobile GIS equipment has demonstrated how process retrieval and transfer data works. A mobile user access data s from server that uses Oracle lOg Spatial Extension as a SDBMS to show the geographical map. The following way is to characterize the performance of this function The average response time from the mobile client is measured as the time spent (in seconds) from the moment of the query is issued to the moment of the... 

Section 6 of the UK Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 places an unequivocal responsibility on the manufacturers and suppliers of equipment to ensure, in design and manufacture, that nothing was done (or not done) which could compromise the end user of the equipment.
