Preventive and corrective actions

Measures should be established and maintained for preventive and corrective actions arising from the monitoring of the implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of the OSMS, audits / audits of the OSMS and the review of the effectiveness of the OSMS by management. These activities should include:

a) identification and analysis of the root causes of any non-compliance with relevant labor protection rules and (or) measures of labor protection management systems;

b) initiating, planning, performing performance reviews and documenting corrective and preventive actions, including changes to the OSH management system itself.

Where an assessment of the OSH management system or other sources indicates that preventive and protective measures against hazards and risks are inadequate or may become inadequate, other measures appropriate to the circumstances, according to the adopted hierarchy of preventive and regulatory measures, should be provided in a timely manner, fully completed and documented.

Continuous improvement

Measures should be established and maintained to continuously improve the relevant elements of the OSH management system and the OSH as a whole. These activities must take into account:

a) the objectives of the organization for labor protection;

b) results of identification and assessment of hazards and risks;

c) results of performance monitoring and performance evaluation;

d) investigations into work-related injuries, ill health, illnesses and incidents, results and recommendations of inspections/audits;

e) conclusions from management's review of the effectiveness of the OSMS;

e) suggestions for improvement from all members of the organization, including the committee on labor protection, where it exists;

g) changes in national laws and regulations, voluntary programs and collective agreements;

h) new relevant information;

i) the results of the implementation of programs for the protection and maintenance of health.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Honeywell FMA Miniature Force Transmitters 25.09.2021

Honeywell introduced the new FMA series sensors. They have a piezoresistive sensing element. Full factory calibration and temperature compensation minimizes initial offset and sensitivity non-linearity.

Direct mechanical contact ensures a simple input of the measured force. The output is directly proportional to the force applied to the sensor. FMA sensors have a digital output for easy connection to a microcontroller.

Areas of use:

Medicine:

infusion pumps;
ambulatory pumps;
pumps for enteral nutrition;
kidney dialysis machines.

Industry:

load and compression measurement;
touch panels;
switch replacement;
robotics;
weight measurement;
force/grip measurement equipment.

The FMA series is a compensated heavy duty force transducer with a digital output and a wide measurement range, with a small size, as well as increased reliability and accuracy. Multiple measurement limits allow the customer to select the force range to maximize sensitivity and improve the resolution of their system. The small size allows the FMA series to be used in applications where space is limited. The rugged construction provides increased reliability in applications where excessive force may exist.

The digital output improves performance by reducing conversion requirements and provides a direct interface to the microcontroller. By monitoring the "open" and "short" conditions inside the sensor, the diagnostic functions allow the user to determine the correct operation of the device.

Features of FMA series sensors:

small form factor 5x5 mm;
typical accuracy +- 2%;
SPI/I2C digital interface;
full calibration during production;
temperature compensation in the range 5...50°C;
overload resistance: 3 times the excess force range;
3,3V power supply (optional 5V);
low power consumption 14 mW;
high reliability and increased repeatability from instance to instance;
stable spherical stainless steel interface;
internal diagnostic functions;
REACH and RoHS compliance.
