3.1. During the operation of the pumping unit, it is necessary:

constantly monitor the readings of instrumentation: pressure gauges, vacuum gauges, pressure vacuum gauges and temperature sensors; the parameters of the technological process must correspond to the specified ones;
prevent the operation of the pumping unit with extraneous and increased noise and knocks;
supervise the tightness of the seals of pumps, pipelines and their fittings.

3.2. Not allowed:

presence of unauthorized persons at the pumping station;
repair of pumps in the process of their operation, fastening of studs, tightening of bolts both on moving parts of the pump and on pipelines under pressure;
touch the moving parts during operation of the pumps, as well as lubricate the bearings;
put pumping units into operation in case of faulty or disabled ventilation in the pumping room;
repair the electrical network and equipment at the pumping station.

3.3. Make sure that the passages between the pumps are not cluttered and that the approaches to them are free from all sides for maintenance.

3.4. Put the used cleaning material in a metal box with a closing lid in unheated rooms, which should be emptied daily. Contaminated cleaning material should be taken to a landfill or burned in a specially designated place.

4. Labor protection requirements in emergency situations

4.1. In the event of an emergency, it is necessary to act in accordance with the emergency response plan.

4.2. In the event of a fire at the pumping station, turn off the electricity, close the valves on the input and output lines of the pumps, call the fire brigade, report the incident to the management of the enterprise, and take measures to extinguish the fire.

4.3. If any malfunction is detected that disrupts the normal operation of the pump, it must be stopped. Make an entry about all the shortcomings noticed in the operation log of pumping units, and notify the management of the enterprise (or shift supervisor).

4.4. In the event of a sudden power outage, disconnect the pump motors from the mains, and then close the valves on the suction and pressure pipelines of the pumps.

4.5. In case of an accident, it is necessary to provide the victim with first aid, if necessary, call an ambulance, inform your immediate supervisor and keep the situation at the workplace unchanged until the investigation, if it does not pose a threat to employees and does not lead to an accident.

5. Labor protection 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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean.

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. ... >>

The fabric of the future is changing shape and color 02.05.2023

Scientists from the University of Waterloo have unveiled a smart fabric that can change shape and color at the same time. It was created by interweaving several durable structures. This allows it to be strong, flexible, yet soft to the touch.

If you heat the development with a hair dryer or any other device, it will change color from purple to blue. The main rule is to get in the temperature range from 20 °C to 60 °C. Otherwise, "magic" will not happen.

When the fabric cools down, it will return to its original purple color. So far, this option only works with two colors, but later the palette can be expanded.

Another development feature is shape change. Under the influence of electrical impulses, the tissue straightens or, conversely, contracts. It can become softer and more flexible, or it can become so rigid that it becomes difficult to bend.

The fabric was woven using a device that looks like a traditional loom. The materials used were polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and thermochromic microcapsules (TMC) with blended yarn of stainless steel fibers. The latter gave it electrical properties, while PET provided the shape memory.

Given the cost-effectiveness - the polymers used were from recycled plastic - the researchers see great promise in their new smart fabric.

"As a wearable material, it has almost limitless potential in games and experiences with artificial intelligence, robotics and virtual reality," Milad Kamkar, one of the study's authors, said. "Imagine feeling a warmth or a physical trigger for a deeper adventure in the virtual world."
