Engineering Controls This is the preferred method of control, as it provides the highest degree of worker protection. It involves the removal of a hazardous task, tool, machine, substance or process. Engineering controls can eliminate or control the hazard at the source. It also reduces the probability of a hazardous event under certain circumstances. Alpine ensures that engineering controls are considered as the first and best solution to eliminate or control hazards. Engineering controls will be used wherever practicable in the control of hazards identified in our workplace. Refer to the Alpine hazard registry for a detailed list of applicable engineering controls for our operations. Engineering controls could involve substituting for a less…
Adopting a good, working posture allows for the proper use of the body’s muscles in minimizing work effort. It also allows for good blood circulation to areas of the body commonly affected by MSIs (Palmer, 2011). Engineering Control Structure re-modification The redesigning of tools or workstations may be necessary in preventing MSIs. Modification of the design may reduce awkward wrist positions and minimize the effects of repetitive motions (Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety,…
game board. We also developed the efficient algorithm to find best possible moves to be taken by robot. The processed signals from the computer were sent to the microcontroller through USART in order to control the movement of the robot across the arena. Our exceptional coding and designing techniques helped us bag the First Prize in the event. With the same team, we also participated in ‘Texas instrument Analog Design Contest-2014’ in which we made a low-cost, portable Tele-medicine equipment.…
C. Loss Control Loss control is a multidisciplinary approach in which human, engineering, and risk management practices are employed to reduce the frequency or severity of losses. In this section, we recommend some loss control methods that we believe PYB should implement in their operation that will reduce the severity and frequency of losses. We divided your strategies in into four categories: property, crime, fleet, and personal. We did not categorize these risks into categories of severity…
dominated profession, such as mechanical engineering with only 8.8% women, a female dominated profession, such as preschool teachers and kindergarten teachers with 97.2% women and a gender neutral occupation, such as postsecondary teachers with 50.2% women. There are a variety of factors that can drive an individual to select a certain profession and result in occupational segregation,…
Leading by example and achieving exceptional results aligned with business objectives, I have demonstrated advanced proficiency in building strong and mutually beneficial relationships with key stakeholders, supporting the delivering of construction capital projects in local government and community service environments, together with effective preparation of engineering…
Being a nuclear mechanic supervisor on a submarine in the United States Navy is a very challenging position. This is a very important role to the efficiency and success of the Engineering department. The nuclear mechanic supervisor must be very proficient in planning, organizing, directing, and training. These skills are crucial to ensuring the division runs as efficiently as possible which, in turn, leads to the success and efficiency of the overall Engineering department. It is important to…
as an FEA and stress analysis responsible for design and engineering of the de-oiling units, but soon I got promoted to a senior mechanical engineer that became involved in different aspects of project execution, such as clients relationship, fabrication supervision, quality control, R&D and commissioning/start up support. In the last two years, due to the financial turmoil in the oil and gas market, I have been involved in budgeting and costing of our product lines, with the aim of optimizing…
Like the radioactive graphite that was released into the atmosphere from the explosion of steam. This could have been prevented by using other materials for the moderator instead of graphite which is combustible. Chernobyl could have been prevented is the operator had seen the error in his ways and had no removed all the control rods to increase power. By removing all the control rods from the reactor the operator given up the ability to control the rate at which the reaction occurs. All of the…
Engineering belongs in many different fields, but what makes them similar is the thought process of the engineer. Engineers have to have an innate curiosity about them they not only have to wonder about how the world the works and why it works that way, but have to look for opportunities to enhance life in every field they can. Civil engineers look at the world and land to create something different and functional then what was there before. Civil engineers mostly work on structures to help…
