This packet is from a course on foundry safety. Several sections are presented, including:
| - | Introduction and Discussion of Potential Foundry Hazards (describes course, foundry, and potential air contaminant hazards) |
| - |
Control Methods: Substitution and Isolation (categorizes and discusses through examples different ways to reduce or eliminate air contaminant hazards through substitution and isolation) |
| - |
Control Methods: Introduction to Ventilation, Enclosing and Exterior Hoods (introduces local and general exhaust ventilation, examples, enclosing and receiving hoods) |
| - |
Control Methods: Non-Receiving Hoods and General Ventilation (examples used to explore different uses for non-receiving hoods and the place of general ventilation in exposure control) |
| - |
Maintenance, Monitoring, Housekeeping, and the Search for New and Improved Control Methods (design of control systems, maintain performance of control measures, keep foundry dust free) |
Actual cases are used to present the material, combined with the results of applied research and development. Discussion questions are located at the end of each section, along with solutions.
Possible courses for integration: Manufacturing Processes/Concurrent Engineering, Design
