Título New accident prevention regulations for electric furnaces in foundries
Título original Neue Unfallverhütungsvorschriften für Elektroöfen in Giessereien [en alemán]
Información bibliográfica Mar. 1979, Vol.66, No.6, p.147-150. Illus. 4 ref.
Resumen Review of the measures to be taken to prevent the hazards involved in using induction and electric-arc furnaces, in the light of West German Regulations VDE 0721 (industrial electrical heating installations) and the new Foundry Safety Regulations (VBG 32). Statistics show that the major hazards consist of projection of incandescent particles during and after charging, and of furnace break-out. Other problems considered: power failure affecting a tilting furnace, crushing and falling hazards (barriers, working platforms), protection of operator's desk against heat, flames and projected particles. Instructions for operation and maintenance (including emergency repairs) should be posted up for each furnace.
