Occupational Safety and Health / Legislative basis for labor protection

Pressure vessels, steam and hot water boilers, steam and hot water pipelines, process pipelines are operated by many organizations and individual entrepreneurs and are objects of increased danger, the destruction of which during operation can lead to large material losses and other serious consequences. As a result, when designing, manufacturing, reconstructing, installing, adjusting, operating and repairing such facilities, it is necessary to comply with the requirements of special rules.

The main documentsthat determine the safety conditions during the operation of the listed equipment are:

1) Rules for the design and safe operation of pressure vessels (PB 03-576-03);

2) Rules for the design and safe operation of steam and hot water boilers (PB 10-574-03);

3) Rules for the design and safe operation of technological pipelines (PB 03-585-03), etc.

Accidents at these facilities usually cause great damage, lead to accidents, including those with serious consequences, and cause great material and moral damage.

The main causes of accidents in pressurized systems, are:

a significant overpressure due to a malfunction of the safety valves, a violation of the technological process or the ignition of oil vapors in the air collectors, the absence (malfunction) of reducing devices;
malfunction or absence of safety devices;
defects in the manufacture, installation and repair of vessels;
overflow of vessels with liquefied gases;
wear (corrosion of vessel walls);
maintenance of vessels by untrained personnel, violations of technological and labor discipline, violations of the Rules, etc.

Equipment operating under pressure over 0,07 MPa (0,7 kg/cm²) or at a water heating temperature of more than 115 ° C, according to the Federal Law of July 21, 1997 No. 116-FZ "On the industrial safety of hazardous production facilities", it belongs to the category of hazardous production facilities and is subject to registration with Rostekhnadzor.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
