Abstract This recommendation, which applies to the teeming ladle, tundish, ingot mould, adjustment and maintenance work, and personnel training, is aimed principally at preventing overflow and spillage of molten steel (stand-by ladle) or explosions (leakage testing of the permanent mould, checking of cooling circuits, acoustic and luminous signals to warn in case of insufficient metal flow or incorrect temperature) and to protect workers against fumes and gases (ventilation, exhaust ventilation) and against molten metal splashes (special clothing).
