Safety at work in mechanical engineering
Mechanical engineers are exposed to a number of safety risks. However, Mmany of them se threads may can be avoided by taking a few simple precautions. executing a set of preventative measures.
Mechanical engineering includes R&D, researching and development ing, methods for building tools, machines, and various mechanical devices. ThusBy that, mechanical engineers often work with dangerous tools in exposed environments: Skin and eye risks associated with mechanical engineering include exposure to hazardous or toxic substances, sudden fires, accidents resulting from working in restricted confined spaces, exposure to severe vibrations and high temperatures and structural failure.
Many of these risks may be avoided by implementing a set of preventative measures. Basic safety measures include These include e.g. having a fully -stocked first aid kit on site and, keeping fire extinguishers close by.
The following safety guidelines depend on the work in question as well as special activities and national and international regulations. Non-compliance with the following rules will result in suspension from the workshop or even dismissaling.:
- Shoes must completely cover the foot, wear safety boots. No flip-flops allowed.
- Wear eye protection e.g. safety glasses if indicated.
- Long hair, dangling jewellery, loose shirts and baggy clothing are a hazard in the workshop.
- Wearing devices, like earphones that impair interfere with communication hearing is n’ot allowed.
- Wearing earmuffs if indicated, as well as a boilersuit and rigger’s gloves or other protective clothing.
- No Don’t eating, drinking and smokeing on in a shop floor.
- No Don’t make any sudden loud noises, that could startle others and provoke bring them to an involuntary and uncontrolled reaction.
- If any equipment is malfunctioning, e.g. making strange noises, is giving off sparklsing and emitting smokeing get the controlling staff member quickly.
- Any ll accidents, no matter how light or severe, should be reported to the supervising staff member.
- Keep aisles clear and maintain open access to all fire extinguishers, exits, main fuses, eye washers and emergency showers.
- Report any unsafe conditions to the maintenance crew.
- All chemicals are clearly labelled with the substance name, concentration, date of filling up and rescue options if s.o. is contaminated.
- All pressurized containers will be secured with two welded link chains and all ingredients must be labelled to indicate show the nature and the degree of hazard.
- Flammable chemicals must be stored in an approved flammable storage cabinet.
- Guards on machinery must be in place during operation and cleaning.
- Be extremely careful, when working with hydraulically or pneumatically driven devices because sudden motion can inflict serious injuries.
- When using extension cords, they must not get be aware that they do damaged n’t by being passed under closed doors go under doors, or across aisles. They must not be , haung from the ceiling,s and not come in contact with water. They must not be or are plugged into other extension cords.
