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. The work must be carried out in accordance with the technological map and with a preliminary acquaintance in nature with the site where the work is to be done. Unauthorized transfer to other areas is not allowed. Tractor drivers who do not have experience in mountain conditions must undergo an internship under the guidance of a master and an experienced worker.

2.2. Before starting work, safety signs must be installed.

2.3. When starting work, the tractor driver must make sure that the bulldozer units and process equipment are in good condition. The following are subject to verification: brake system, sound signal, lighting devices, glazing, winch, blocks, ropes or hydraulic system, operation of control levers, condition of the cutting edges of the blade (knife).

2.4. After starting the engine, it is necessary to test all mechanisms idly. Faults found, if they cannot be eliminated on their own, should be reported to the mechanic or the work manager. It is not allowed to work on a malfunctioning bulldozer.

2.5. Operation at dusk and at night, during thunderstorms, during rain, snowfall, dense fog (visibility less than 60 m), with wind speeds over 8,5 m/s, as well as operation on slopes exceeding those specified in the operating manual for a particular cars are prohibited.

2.6. Before starting to move, you should:

make sure that there are no foreign objects on the tracks and under the machine;
make sure that there are no people near the tractor and on the way of its movement;
give a warning signal.

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. Work and movement on mountain slopes must be carried out with the cab doors open. Only the tractor driver should be in the cab.

3.3. When felling trees, cutting bushes, uprooting stumps found on the portage, the movement of the machine must be smooth, without jerks.

3.4. When preparing the portage, it is prohibited:

move part of the caterpillar beyond the width of the portage;
move across the slope with a steepness higher than specified in the operation manual;
make sharp turns when working and driving on slopes to avoid tipping and sliding of the machine;
leave the car unattended when the engine is running;
perform any repair, adjustment, lubrication work on the move of the machine;
turn the machine with the blade buried in the ground;
when dumping soil down a slope, extend the blade beyond the edge of the slope.

3.5. To overcome microrelief slopes exceeding the total allowable steepness of the slope for a bulldozer, this microrelief should be cut with another machine that can work on higher slopes, or use the additional traction force of a winch installed in the upland part of the site.

The working passage along the portage is carried out in the direction from the top to the foot of the mountain and is secured with a winch. This operation must be carried out under the supervision and direct supervision of the work manager. In such cases, the bulldozer tractor driver is not allowed to make a decision on his own.

3.6. When driving on sharp bends, make sure that the blade does not touch the ground.

3.7. The movement of the machine during idle crossings on the ascent and descent must be carried out in first gear.

3.8. When arranging a portage on steep and heavily eroded slopes, before backfilling the gullies, it is necessary to first install wattle fences or other barriers in the gullies to prevent soil shedding.

3.9. It is forbidden to set up several portages on one slope at the same time.

3.10. When two or more cars are working at the same time on the preparation of the portage, going one after the other, the one in front must give a signal when turning, stopping and starting off. The distance between cars must be at least 30 m.

4. Labor protection requirements in emergency situations

4.1. If there is a risk of slipping or tipping over, you must immediately leave the machine, if possible, turn it off, call the work manager and act according to his instructions,

4.2. If the gauges indicate insufficient oil pressure in the engine or high coolant temperature, you must immediately stop the machine and turn off the engine. After the engine has cooled, measure the oil level, inspect the oil pipeline system and eliminate the identified 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.

4.3. 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.

4.4. If it is necessary to eliminate a malfunction that has arisen during operation and maintenance, turn off the machine engine.

4.5. In the event of a fire, a fire extinguisher in the cab must be used to extinguish the flame.

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:

park the car;
bring the process equipment to the transport position, lower the boom and the pusher 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 car from dirt and branches;
when parking in cold weather, it is necessary to drain the water from the radiator and engine cooling system, remove the battery.

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 ... >>

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. ... >>

Efficient recovery of cobalt from depleted batteries 03.04.2019

Sumitomo Metal has developed an efficient process to recover cobalt from depleted batteries for electric vehicles and beyond. The technology will make it possible in the future to avoid or mitigate the shortage of this extremely rare metal on Earth, without which the manufacture of rechargeable batteries is unthinkable today.

Cobalt is used to make cathodes for lithium-ion batteries, ensuring the stability of these cells. Sumitomo Metal, for example, obtains cobalt-bearing ore from Southeast Asia. The company processes the ore to extract cobalt in Japan, and then supplies the pure metal to battery manufacturers such as Panasonic and other companies that supply batteries in the US for Tesla cars.

About 60% of cobalt is mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Mines in the Congo are owned by American and Swiss companies, but in recent years they have been actively bought by the Chinese. So, in 2016, the Chinese Molybdenum bought a significant part of the shares in Tenke Fungurume from the American company Freeport-McMoRan, which owns cobalt mines in the Congo, and in 2017 the GEM company from Shanghai bought the mines from the Swiss Glencore. The limitation of cobalt mining sites, analysts believe, will lead to a shortage of this metal as early as 2022, so the extraction of cobalt from recycled materials may push this unfortunate moment forward into the future.

To explore the possibilities of a new process for recovering cobalt from used batteries, Sumitomo Metal has started setting up a pilot plant in Ehime Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. The proposed process allows for the rapid extraction of cobalt in a pure enough form to be immediately returned to battery manufacturers. By the way, in addition to cobalt, copper and nickel will also be extracted during the processing of batteries, which will only add advantages to the new method. If the pilot production proves to be successful, Sumitomo Metal will start industrial processing of batteries to extract cobalt in 2021.
