4. Labor protection requirements in emergency situations

4.1. In case of noticed malfunctions of production equipment and tools, as well as if, when touching a machine, machine tool, unit, an electric current is felt, or there is a strong heating of electrical wires, electric motors, electrical equipment, sparking or wire breakage, etc., warn workers about hazard, immediately notify the head of the unit and take measures to eliminate the emergency.

4.2. If smoke is detected and a fire occurs, immediately declare a fire alarm, take measures to extinguish the fire using the available primary fire extinguishing equipment according to the source of the fire, notify the work manager.

If necessary, organize the evacuation of people from the danger zone.

In conditions of smoke and the presence of fire in the room, move along the walls, bending over or crawling; to facilitate breathing, cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief (cloth) moistened with water; move through the flames, covering your head with outer clothing or a blanket, if possible, douse yourself with water, tear off or extinguish the burning clothes, and when most of the clothes are covered by fire, roll the worker tightly into a cloth (blanket, felt mat), but do not cover with your head.

4.3. In case of accidents with people, provide them with first aid, immediately notify the work manager, maintain the situation in which the accident occurred, if this does not threaten the life and health of others and does not violate the technological process, until the arrival of persons investigating the causes of the accident.

4.4. In case of electric shock, release the victim from the current as soon as possible, because. the duration of its action determines the severity of the injury. To do this, quickly turn off the part of the electrical installation that the victim touches with a knife switch or other disconnecting device.

4.5. If it is impossible to quickly turn off the electrical installation, it is necessary to separate the victim from live parts:

4.5.1. When releasing the victim from live parts or wires with voltage up to 1000 V, use a rope, stick, board or other dry object that does not conduct electric current, or pull the victim by the clothes (if it is dry and lags behind the body), for example, by the skirts of a jacket or coat, behind the collar, while avoiding touching the surrounding metal objects and parts of the body of the victim, not covered by clothing.

4.5.2. If the victim touches the wire that lies on the ground, then before approaching him, place a dry board, a bundle of dry clothes or some kind of dry, non-conductive stand under your feet and separate the wire from the victim with a dry stick, board. It is recommended to operate with one hand if possible.

4.5.3. If the victim convulsively squeezes one current-carrying element (for example, a wire) in his hand, separate the victim from the ground by slipping a dry board under him, pulling his legs off the ground with a rope or pulling him by his clothes, while observing the safety measures described above.

4.5.4. When pulling the victim by the legs, do not touch his shoes or clothing unless your hands are insulated or poorly insulated, because. shoes and clothes may be damp and conduct electricity. To isolate hands, especially if it is necessary to touch the body of the victim, not covered by clothing, put on dielectric gloves, if they are not available, wrap your hands with a scarf or use any other dry clothing.

4.5.5. If it is not possible to separate the victim from live parts or disconnect the electrical installation from the power source, then chop or cut the wires with an ax with a dry wooden handle or bite them with a tool with insulated handles (pliers, wire cutters). Cut and cut the wires phase by phase, i.e. each wire separately. You can also use an uninsulated tool, but you need to wrap its handle with a dry woolen or rubberized cloth.

4.5.6. When separating the victim from live parts with voltages above 1000 V, do not approach the victim closer than 4 - 5 m indoors and 8 - 10 m outdoors.

To release the victim, put on insulating gloves and insulating boots and operate only with an insulated rod or tongs rated for the appropriate voltage.

4.6. If the victim is conscious, but frightened, confused and does not know that in order to free himself from the current he needs to get off the ground, with a sharp shout of "jump" make him act correctly.

4.7. In case of an acid burn, remove clothing and thoroughly rinse the burnt area with a stream of water for 15 minutes, then rinse with a 5% solution of potassium permanganate or a 10% solution of baking soda (a teaspoon in a glass of water). After that, cover the affected areas of the body with gauze soaked in a mixture of vegetable oil and lime water, and bandage it.

4.8. If signs of poisoning appear (headache, tinnitus, dizziness, dilated pupils, nausea and vomiting, loss of consciousness), remove the victim immediately to fresh air and organize the supply of oxygen for breathing using a rubber cushion or an oxygen cylinder. In the absence of oxygen, lay down the victim, raise his legs, let him drink cold water and let's sniff cotton wool moistened with ammonia. If breathing is weak, if it stops, perform artificial respiration until the doctor arrives or breathing is restored. If possible and the victim is conscious, give him plenty of milk to drink.

5. Labor protection requirements at the end of work

5.1. Turn off rectifiers, electric heating furnaces. Turn off the ventilation in the charging room 1,5 hours after the end of the battery charging.

5.2. Securely close the plugs (faucets) of the acid and electrolyte containers. Close the electrolyte containers with lids.

5.3. Rinse the siphon rubber hoses with water. Remove your workspace. Rinse acid and lead dust from scaffolds and floors with a stream of water, rinse rubber gloves, boots, apron and sleeves.

5.4. Please deposit your personal protective equipment in the prescribed manner. Wash your face and hands, rinse your mouth with baking soda, and brush your teeth. Brush your teeth thoroughly every morning, at the end of work and in the evening.

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. ... >>

Earth weighed with neutrinos 31.10.2018

For the first time, physicists used data on the motion of ultralight neutrino particles to determine large-scale parameters of the entire planet Earth, including mass. The scientists also managed to obtain information about the change in the density of the medium from the surface to the core.

They are born in a variety of reactions, for example, in the center of stars, nuclear reactors on Earth, and when cosmic rays interact with the planet's atmosphere. Neutrinos interact very weakly with ordinary matter, so with a high probability they can fly through the entire planet. However, some particles are still absorbed, which can be seen due to their high fluxes. This allows you to explore the interior of the planet, since the probability of absorption depends on the energy of the particle and the path traveled.

In the new work, for the first time, physicists have been able to collect enough statistics to determine the parameters of the Earth only on the basis of data on the absorption of neutrinos. The work was done on the largest IceCube neutrino detector at the South Pole in Antarctica, which captured particles passing through the Earth. Neutrinos that appeared at the North Pole had to pass the entire planet, including its core, for registration, while those that arrived at large angles crossed only the crust. This made it possible to restore the mass distribution throughout the volume.

The new method has become an independent addition to the existing methods for determining the properties of the planet by the features of the gravitational field and based on the propagation of seismic waves, the speed of which depends on the density of the medium. The results of all methods are consistent and confirm the correctness of modern ideas and the structure of the Earth.

At the moment, neutrinos have not allowed to obtain new information about the planet, but this is not excluded in the future. For example, some models of dark matter assume the accumulation of its particles in the centers of all large bodies, and discrepancies in determining the properties of the nucleus from the gravitational field and neutrino absorption may indicate the presence of dark matter in the Earth's core.
