Abstract |
This second report by the Subcommittee on Dust and Fume of the Joint Standing Committee on Health, Safety and Welfare in Foundries in the United Kingdom is concerned with particular applications of the principles of local exhaust ventilation to some types of benches for the fettling of castings. The different types are described and illustrated (without and with partial or full enclosure, extraction through the working surface and/or rear slot). Benches with almost full enclosure and extraction through the working surface provided the best results. It is recommended that mechanical cleaning should precede hand fettling of castings to reduce the amount of dangerous dust. The report further surveys small adjustable hoods designed for the control of dust produced by hand-held power-driven abrasive wheels on large castings. Because of the dynamic working conditions these exhaust systems never control the whole of a dust cloud. French translation may be obtained from INRS, 30 rue Olivier-Noyer, 75680 Paris Cedex 14, France. |
