3.9. Work inside the tank can only be done if there is an observer outside the tank. The observer must be able to immediately turn off the welding network and must be able to see and hear the welder. The welder must be equipped with a belt with a rope, the end of which, at least 2 m long, must be in the hands of the observer. Portable lighting during these works should have a voltage no higher than 12 volts; electrodes should be changed with the voltage turned off.

3.10. Welding work inside containers (reservoirs, boilers, cisterns, etc.) should only be carried out if the required air exchange is ensured using special ventilation devices.

3.11. Electrical welding work in wells and deep ditches must be carried out only with a work permit and after making sure, using a gas analyzer, that there are no accumulations of flammable gases or carbon dioxide in them. These works are allowed to be carried out at temperatures not exceeding 50 degrees C.

3.12. Whenever moving welding wires, make sure that the wires do not come into contact with water, oil, steel ropes, hoses and pipelines containing flammable gases and oxygen, as well as hot pipelines.

3.13. During long breaks in work, the welding power source should be turned off.

3.14. Repair welding equipment only after disconnecting the voltage.

3.15. Place the energized electrode holder on a special stand or suspension and do not throw it or leave it unattended.

3.16. Make sure that all handwheels, switch handles, buttons, handles that the welder touches during the welding process are made of dielectric material.

3.17. During rain, welding outdoors can only be done with appropriate protective devices (canopies, canopies, etc.).

3.18. When working in close proximity to hatches, protect them. If guards or covers were removed during work, they must be replaced after work is completed.

3.19. To carry tools, electrodes and other welding materials, use special tool boxes or cylindrical cases made of fireproof material.

4. Safety requirements in emergency situations

4.1. At the slightest sensation of electric current, stop work, turn off the voltage and inform the technician.

4.2. In case of fire, take measures to extinguish. Fired electrical wires should be extinguished with sand and carbon dioxide or dry fire extinguishers, which should be located at the workplace. Notify the foreman about the fire. If there is a threat to life, leave the premises.

4.3. If there is an accidental supply of hot or cold water during the repair of boilers and pipelines, immediately stop work, turn off the welding machine and report to the foreman or workshop manager.

5. Safety requirements at the end of work

5.1. Turn off the electric welding machine. Collect the welding wires and put them in the designated place.

5.2. Carefully check the work area, do not leave open flames, objects heated to high temperatures, as well as smoldering combustible materials, debris, etc. Provide observation for 3-5 hours.

5.3. Collect the electrode cinders in a special fireproof box.

5.4. Remove the tool to a place specially designated for it.

5.5. Take off your overalls, put them in order and put them in the closet. Wash your face and hands thoroughly. If possible, take a shower.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
