Safe Operation

1. General requirements for labor protection

General labor protection requirements are set out in the instructions "General requirements for labor protection for workers engaged in logging and forestry work".

2. Labor protection requirements before starting work

2.1. Get a task from the master or other manager on which area to work. Unauthorized moving to other areas is not allowed.

2.2. The crane operator (driver) must carefully check the condition of fasteners, connecting pipes, hoses, junction boxes, attachments of the log loader and tractor, cab fencing, sound signal, lighting devices, glazing. The presence of a fire extinguisher, first aid kit and thermos with drinking water is checked.

2.3. All operations to regulate technological equipment, maintenance and repairs should be carried out with the engine stopped.

2.4. When refueling a timber loader with fuel and oil, it is necessary to use special devices to prevent spillage of fuel and lubricants.

2.5. Before starting the engine, you must make sure that the control handles of the log loader and attachments are in the neutral position, the hydraulic system is turned off, and there are no foreign objects on the rotating parts of the engine and transmission.

2.6. Heating the engine in a jaw-dropping timber loader in winter should be done with hot water, steam, mobile heat generators or individual heaters. It is not permitted to use open fire to heat the engine and hydraulic system components of the log loader.

2.7. When inspecting and repairing hydraulic system hoses, cylinders, and other components and parts located at a height of more than 1,5 m, you should use an inventory ladder or a special overpass with durable flooring.

2.8. After starting the engine, it is necessary to check all the mechanisms of the log loader and technological equipment at idle speed. If any malfunctions are found, if they cannot be eliminated on your own, you should report them to a mechanic or technician. It is not permitted to operate a log loader that is faulty or has not undergone timely maintenance.

2.9. Before starting to move, the crane operator (driver) must make sure that there are no people near the timber loader and in the path of its movement, give a signal and only then start moving.

2.10. When the timber loader moves over a distance of more than 50 m, the technological equipment must be brought into the transport position.

3. Labor protection requirements during work

3.1. The employee must perform only the work that is entrusted to him by his immediate supervisor.

3.2. The crane operator (driver) must notify others with an audible signal about the start of loading.

3.3. The laying of logs on a logging road train must be carried out smoothly, without impacts.

3.4. The distance from the fence of the cabin of a timber road train must be at least 0,75 m.

3.5. The logger cabin door must be closed during operation.

3.6. Before the jaw loader begins to move, the load must be securely clamped by the gripper and raised to a vertical position.

3.7. During the loading process, the driver must ensure that the driver is not on the loaded rolling stock, on the stack of logs, or on the opposite side of the logging road train at a distance of less than 10 m.

3.8. When operating the log loader, the following requirements must be observed:

when transporting a timber loader under its own power, the boom must rise to a level that provides sufficiently good visibility;
it is necessary to drive the log loader on a bad road or over rough terrain only in first and second gear; when loading, you can only move in first gear;
working pressure in the hydraulic system should not exceed that specified in the passport;
the center of gravity of the lifted whips should not exceed the dimensions of the lower jaw;
when reciprocating maneuvering of a road train in order to level the ends, the raised pack of rods must be located outside the dimensions of the road train;
The transported load must not exceed the established load capacity of the timber loader.

3.9. During the loading process, it is not allowed:

load whips frozen to the ground;
load the logs with a running start in the butt part, which does not ensure the safety of their placement on the road train;
load the logs (assortments) into the lower and outer rows of the bunk posts of the road train, the length of which overlaps the distance between the bunks by less than 1 m;
stand under or near a lifted load;
climb under the logger while the engine is running;
smoke when refueling the tractor with fuel and hydraulic oil;
lean out of the cab;
sharply turn and brake the log loader;
get into the forest loader cab on the go.

4. Labor protection requirements in emergency situations

4.1. If instrument readings indicate insufficient engine oil pressure or elevated coolant temperature, you must immediately stop the jaw loader and turn off the engine. After the engine has cooled, measure the oil level, inspect the oil pipeline system and eliminate any detected defects.

Open the radiator cap to check the coolant level with extreme caution, avoiding burns. First, loosen it by releasing steam, and then remove the cap on the neck. In this case, you need to work only in mittens.

4.2. If the cabin door is jammed, it is necessary to use the exit through the opening windows; if it is impossible to use them, squeeze out or break the glass and leave the cab.

4.3. If it is necessary to eliminate a malfunction during operation and maintenance, turn off the engine of the log loader.

4.4. In the event of a fire, a fire extinguisher must be used to extinguish the flame.

4.5. The operation of the jaw-mounted timber loader must be stopped during heavy rain, thunderstorms, heavy snowfall, thick fog (visibility less than 50 m), and at night, if the illumination of working areas is less than that established by artificial lighting standards.

4.6. The victim or eyewitness must notify the foreman or the appropriate work manager of each accident.

4.7. Each worker must be able to provide first aid. Assistance must be provided immediately at the scene of the incident. The first step is to eliminate the source of injury (turn off the engine, stop the mechanism, remove the victim from under the whip, etc.).

The provision of assistance should begin with the most significant that threatens the health or life of a person: in case of severe bleeding, apply a tourniquet, and then bandage the wound; if a closed fracture is suspected, apply a splint; with open fractures, you should first bandage the wound, and then apply a splint; for burns, apply a dry bandage; in case of frostbite, gently rub the affected area using soft or fluffy tissues.

If spinal injuries are suspected, the victim can only be transported in the supine position on a rigid base.

After providing first aid, the victim should be sent to the nearest medical facility.

5. Labor protection requirements at the end of work

5.1. Upon completion of work, you should:

put the logger in the parking lot;
bring the technological equipment into the transport position, lower the boom with the gripper to the ground;
bring the control handles of the tractor and technological equipment to the neutral position;
turn off the hydraulic pumps, stop the engine, disconnect the battery, close the cab door with a lock;
clean the log loader from dirt and branches;
When parked in cold weather, it is necessary to drain the water from the radiator and engine cooling system.

5.2. Any deficiencies in the field of labor protection must be reported to the foreman or the relevant work manager.

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 ... >>

How effective is spam 16.06.2009

How effective is spam - unsolicited advertising sent to email addresses? A group of computer scientists from California (USA) became interested in this issue.

They analyzed the results of an advertising campaign in which 75 million messages about a new herbal medicine were sent out from 869 computers in a major spam advertising network in 26 days.

The result is only 28 purchases of this tool, that is, the mailing efficiency is less than 0,00001%. Whereas a regular advertising campaign, when information is sent on request or to people who may obviously be interested in the proposed product, reaches an efficiency of 2,15%.
