Detected violations of labor safety requirements must be eliminated on their own, and if it is impossible to do this, the concrete workers are obliged to immediately report them to the person responsible for the safe operation of cranes, as well as the person responsible for the safe operation of the crane.

Safety requirements during work

12. Before starting work, the driver must check the availability of certificates for the right to carry out work from workers in the cradle and slingers. While people are in the cradle, the driver should not be distracted from his direct duties, as well as clean, lubricate and repair mechanisms.

13. Before starting the lift, the driver must make sure that there are no unauthorized persons in the work area, and that the workers in the cradle have fixed the halyards of the safety belts to the cradle fence.

14. In the process of work, the driver must:

a) make sure that the mass of people, tools and materials in the cradle does not exceed the carrying capacity provided for by the lift passport;

b) prevent the performance of work that causes horizontal loads on the cradle (when pulling a cable or wire, pulling up a load);

c) make sure that the distance between the turning part of the lift and the dimensions of buildings, stacks of goods and machines is at least 1 m.

15. Before lifting people, the operator of the lift must:

a) make sure that the slope of the site at the place of work does not exceed the limit angle specified in the passport, and the ground will not give subsidence;

b) brake the car with a hand brake and install the lift on the outriggers;

b) check the fastening of loads and the fastening of safety belts for persons in the cradle;

c) establish the procedure for exchanging signals with workers in the aerial platform;

d) determine, together with the work supervisor, the boundaries of the danger zone below under the cradle.

16. While the workers are in the cradle, the lift operator must be in the control cabin and make sure that the workers in the cradle are attached with a belt to the cradle railing, do not bend over them and do not stand on the railing of the fence.

Lifting, stopping and lowering of the cradle must be carried out by the hoist driver only at the signal of the workers in it.

Ascents close to the maximum height must be carried out by the operator of the hoist at a reduced speed.

17. Prior to the start of transportation of the lift, the driver must:

a) bring all working equipment to the transport position and fix it;

b) get acquainted with the route, the state of the road, the requirements for passage through artificial structures;

c) make sure that there are no people in the cradle or on the lift structures.

18. When transporting the lift under its own power on public roads, the driver must comply with the traffic rules.

19. When installing and moving the lift near excavations (pits and trenches), the driver must observe the approach distance from the bottom of the excavation slope to the nearest lift support not less than those indicated in Table 1 below.

Table 1 Approach distance from the bottom of the excavation slope to the nearest support of the machine when installed near the excavation

20. To install and work in the security zone of an existing overhead power line, the lift operator is obliged under the direct supervision of engineering and technical workers responsible for the safe production of work, with the written permission of the organizations - owners of the lines and a work permit that determines safe working conditions.

Safety requirements in emergency situations

22. If there are signs of a malfunction in the engine, hydraulic system or lifting mechanism, work must be suspended and measures must be taken to eliminate the malfunctions.

If it is impossible to quickly eliminate the malfunction, it is not allowed to find people in the cradle at a height; it is necessary to take measures to lower it.

Safety requirements at the end of work

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. ... >>

carbon dioxide glass 18.01.2007

A group of chemists from the University of Florence (Italy) obtained a transparent glassy material from carbon dioxide by compressing "dry ice" between two diamond plungers under a pressure of 640 atmospheres at a temperature of 700 Kelvin.

Under such extreme conditions, CO2 molecules, which are characterized by double bonds of a carbon atom with each of the oxygen atoms, rearranged into molecules with single bonds, arranged randomly, as in ordinary glass. The resulting substance is about ten times harder than quartz, but softer than diamond. It is the hardest amorphous material known to science.

As soon as the pressure is removed, the extraordinary substance turns back into ordinary "dry ice" and then into gaseous carbon dioxide. But chemists suggest that if this "gas glass" is mixed with silicon dioxide at even higher temperatures, it will be possible to obtain an extremely hard glass-like substance that is stable under ordinary conditions. It will find application in technology, and in this form it will be convenient to store excess carbon dioxide, which is now emitted into the atmosphere and causing global warming.

Carbon and silicon are neighbors in the periodic table of the elements, but carbon dioxide under normal conditions is a gas, and silicon dioxide is either crystalline quartz or glass. It is assumed that high pressure changes the chemical properties of carbon towards silicon.
