Safety Regulations

The British Pressure Gauge Manufacturers Association has always emphasised the need for strict observance of recognised safety requirements when using pressure gauges. Unfortunately, gauges are both available and used that do not meet the rigid safety regulations laid down in British Standard 1780 and this could lead to serious accidents. The provisions of the Health and Safety at Work Act coupled with the strengthened proposals for Product Liability will place a greater statutory responsibility upon the manufacturer and user alike. The Association has therefore prepared the following statement:

Different Types

During recent years the number of tennis athletes has increased significantly. When playing tennis, the human body is exposed to many situations which can lead to human injuries, such as the so-called tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). In this work a biomechanical analysis of tennis athletes, particularly during the service, was performed, considering three different types of over-grip and the presence of one anti-vibrator device. One part of the study evaluates the exposure to hand-arm vibration of the athlete, based on the European Directive 2002/44/EC concerning the minimum health and safety requirements, regarding the exposure of workers to risks from physical agents. The second part of the study considers an infrared thermography analysis in order to identify signs of risk of injury, particularly tennis elbow, one of the most common injuries in this sport. The results show that the presence of the anti-vibrator influences the vibration values greatly in the case of athletes with more experience and also for athletes with less performance. The presence of the Cork and/or Tourna on the racket grip does not have any significant effect on the hand-arm vibration (HAV), similarly in the case of athletes with the best performance and athletes with less technique. The results indicated that the infrared thermography technique may be used to identify the risk of injuries in tennis players.

Having as starting point the fundamental requirements outlined in Directive 2002/44/CE in which the minimum health and safety requirements for the workers’ exposure to the risks generated by physical agents (vibrations) are established, the paper presents a concrete evaluation, based on experimental determinations, of the vibrations transmitted to the entire body of a human operator. The evaluation of the level of exposure to vibrations is based on the computation of the daily exposure, expressed over a period of eight hours. The weighted mean square acceleration will be determined function of the frequency weighting curves Wc, Wd and Wk , using a MATLAB program developed by the author. Based on the indications from SR ISO 2361-1 the evaluation of the vibrations for health, comfort, and perception are presented as experimental results. In this context, the necessity of compliance with the minimum health and safety requirements imposed by the current legislation are highlighted.

Qpcr Analysis

Early in the pandemic, a simple, open-source, RNA extraction-free RT-qPCR protocol for SARS-CoV-2 detection in saliva was developed and made widely available. This simplified approach (SalivaDirect) requires only sample treatment with proteinase K prior to PCR testing. However, feedback from clinical laboratories highlighted a need for a flexible workflow that can be seamlessly integrated into their current health and safety requirements for the receiving and handling of potentially infectious samples. To address these varying needs, we explored additional pre-PCR workflows. We built upon the original SalivaDirect workflow to include an initial incubation step (95°C for 30 minutes, 95°C for 5 minutes or 65°C for 15 minutes) with or without addition of proteinase K. The limit of detection for the workflows tested did not significantly differ from that of the original SalivaDirect workflow. When tested on de-identified saliva samples from confirmed COVID-19 individuals, these workflows also produced comparable virus detection and assay sensitivities, as determined by RT-qPCR analysis. Exclusion of proteinase K did not negatively affect the sensitivity of the assay. The addition of multiple heat pretreatment options to the SalivaDirect protocol increases the accessibility of this cost-effective SARS-CoV-2 test as it gives diagnostic laboratories the flexibility to implement the workflow which best suits their safety protocols.

Number Of Factors

The paper describes the re-design of a coal feeder as used in coal fired power stations. A number of factors such as selling price, revised health and safety requirements, and reduced maintenance and replacement costs were the underlying reasons for the re-design. As a result the man-hours required to produce the unit were reduced by 23 per cent and the selling price by 30 per cent when compared with the unit previously offered by Redler Conveyors Limited. A project team was formed of members from various departments, and this had a major impact on the speed of introduction, just nine months elapsing between idea and completion of the first machine. This enabled the Company to change from being totally uncompetitive to being market leaders.

Design Objects

The perforation principle of objects in environmental design is considered in this article, as well as the formation of objects of an architectural environment with the help of the perforation principle, and the interaction of perforated elements with shapes and luminous flux. This research improves the traditional knowledge of functional use of perforated surfaces (such as sun protection, soundproofing, health and safety requirements) in architectural and design objects. The research also systematizes and structures the methods of using them with the luminous flux in environmental design of objects in order to find some new forms and compositional effects.
