Abstract |
Literature survey of work conditions in forging shops, of associated accidents and their causes, of forging machinery and procedures, of appropriate preventive measures. Main hazards are: fumes and dust released by reheating furnaces, red-hot workpieces and drop-forging emulsions that decompose on contact with hot objects; radiant heat; impact noise; heavy monotonous work. OSH improvement strategy is outlined, and concrete solutions are described (fixed and moving guards, interlocking systems, two-hand controls). |
