If necessary, carry out additional lifting with a second jack, the suspended part of the car should be lowered onto the trestle, and then additional lifting should be carried out.

4.1.7. Before lifting the car with a lift, it is necessary to ensure that all paws - pickups are securely installed under the car and there are no distortions during lifting.

4.1.8. When servicing a car on a lift (hydraulic, electromechanical), a sign with the inscription "Do not touch - people are working under the car" must be posted on the lift control panel.

4.1.9. In the working (raised) position, the plunger of the hydraulic lift must be securely fixed with a stop (bar), which guarantees the impossibility of spontaneous lowering of the lift.

4.1.10. When working on a turntable (tipper), you must first securely fasten the car on it, drain the fuel from the fuel tanks and the liquid from the cooling system, tightly close the engine oil filler neck and remove the battery.

4.2. Working under a lifted car

4.2.1. It is forbidden to carry out any work under the car (on a car) hung on lifting mechanisms (with the exception of lifts), without installing it on the trestles.

4.2.2. Before starting work, it is necessary to check the fulfillment of the conditions specified in clause 4.1.2.

In case of non-compliance with the safety requirements specified in clause 4.1.2, the worker must perform the relevant operations himself.

4.2.3. It is forbidden to start the engine if:

the car is in a suspended state;
there are people under the car.

4.2.4. To work lying under the car, you must use a special sunbed.

4.2.5. It is necessary to ensure that the legs of the worker do not protrude from under the car in order to avoid hitting them with another vehicle.

4.2.6. In case of insufficient lighting while working under the car, you should use a portable serviceable lamp with a voltage of not more than 42 V or a portable electric torch.

5. Safety requirements in emergency situations

5.1. The employee must immediately inform the administration of the enterprise about each accident that he witnessed, and provide the victim with first aid, call a doctor, help deliver the victim to a health center or the nearest medical facility.

Lamp on bioluminescent bacteria 26.01.2015

In nature, bioluminescent bacteria are found on the tentacles of a certain species of octopus, allowing it to glow in the dark: when exposed to oxygen, these microorganisms emit a soft blue light.

Dutch designer Teresa van Dongen designed the Ambio lamp as part of her graduation project at the Eindohven Design Academy, and students from the Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) helped her find the right bacteria.

The lamp is a transparent tube with artificial sea water, in which photobacteria were placed, and in order for it to glow, Amibo must be set in motion, for which a simple pendulum mechanism had to be built. While the bacteria in the lamp can only live for a few days, Teresa is working with biologists to extend the life of the lamp and increase the brightness of the light.
