Thz you

no problem! I feel like i've been going a bit overboard with all this (and have no experience/qualifications in the area), but have been watching a pile of US-CSB videos, and have been reading up on all sorts of stuff so i made this

I guess IT & Workspace 'Security' goes here as well

As for IT Security, we have an ISO9001 audit this year; can be a real PITA - will report here For workspaces - if you are on a budget:

I plugged my most precious equipment with GPS trackers and get notifications when my welder leaves the building
those TCP cams are really cheap; just they spit alarms for really nothing; let it be spider spinning a net over the camera or just bypassing insects
for IT security, I guess we have after the new OSR stack something recommendable ... actually a nobrainer since most of these systems have lots of built -in features anyway, I will try to edit https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Safety_Policy | this should be a lot simpler and fit on an A4 printable sheet. Drilling, lathes, mills, welders, etc... can get really dangerous for students - despite prior instructions, gosh

we actually have only one rule in the shop "make it easy for you" - includes 'safety', takes a while to explain but covers all

In a small shop - usually under pressure - it seems that even the best instructions can be useless. I think we have a good material handling but still; I manage to slice up my fingers and other parts every week

Usually, I have around 5+ wounds all over the body ... usually treating this in really hot salt water over the evening ... in other shops it's no different

The obvious stuff as dealing with Oxy-Acetylene is no problem

from what usually?, just razor knifes/picking up tools, or something more major?

bur, sharp corners/edges - sometimes unfinished work left on the table, by myself or others. that's usually Nr.1 source; happens also to anyone; I guess in 2+ more years we've got a handle on this
- packing stuff or doing wood work (custom pallets) can be also really nasty; normally one would use gloves but it's very unpractical - especially in a metal shop
- Nr.2 is falling stuff, big stuff, up to 100KG due to insufficient securing or handling; happened to customers who pick stuff up here - never again
- Nr.3 accidents at the machine are rather rare - everbody gets hurt once but usually never again - like your first car accident
- Nr.4 gases, spray paint, chemicals - also happens very rare after all - once you get smoked; it won't happen again - did some primer one day and had a really blur sight the rest of the day - due to missing ventilation, I actually thought the wind in the shop was enough - but no; not with this particular primer
-Nr.5 electro shocks, happens very rare, mostly on purpose

"- packing stuff or doing wood work (custom pallets) can be also really nasty; normally one would use gloves but it's very unpractical - especially in a metal shop" oof, when i was working at Walmart dealt with a bunch of those pallets, and i wasn't smart enough to think to get gloves. Luckily i didn't deal with the pallets much, and if you find the right spot it isn't bad, but nails / big af splinters are no joke lol

1:14 AM

(on an unrelated note, getting a OS mold to make plastic palletes would be neat! Granted IIRC they were heavier, and i don't know how much they rely on skeletonization to function right load wise)

Yeah - I was actually expecting Walmart having you covered best as possible

The shredding facility over the fence is doing mostly plastic pallets and food containers (HDPE/PP - gonna give them another visit since they have fixed clients, and best: they are very open friendly/talkative ( they operate underground shredders at 100kW, at near 100dB, can't sleep there). Alrighty, anyway - I think we can break this down per machine and power tool; welders, angle grinders and drill presses (especially cheap ones with no possibilty to secure the workpiece correctly) deserve a good sheet each. Lathe and other big machines can be also really nasty - easy to manage with some creative shields though but still - it deserves a chapter each. let me check into later in sept - currently busy with working out a new markup language (https://git.osr-plastic.org/plastichub/lib-content/src/branch/master/examples) to print it out, perhaps via QR codes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_spill_containment

Secondary spill containment

Secondary spill containment is the containment of hazardous liquids in order to prevent pollution of soil and water. Common techniques include the use of spill berms to contain oil-filled equipment, fuel tanks, truck washing decks, or any other places or items that may leak hazardous liquids.

Shield your lathe operators from risky operations

The many rapidly moving parts during lathe operations can create an unsafe environment for operators and others in the area. Safeguards such as shields, emergency stops, and self-ejecting wrenches can reduce potential dangers and protect a shop’s most important asset—its human resources.

ye, there are quite a few compilations, sometimes even banned on FB. what's shocking are 'collogues' watching at you whilst DoD; there are also some wiki pages about industrial accidents but still - real but often hidden dangers aren't obvious enough. let it be recycling plastic, working as driver 8h on the subway, garden work (can get you killed with no hassle), paving roads, waste drivers or folks working with it - name it. after that, another page for the brain dead is waiting

Mycotoxins in animal feed

Many species of fungi produce secondary metabolites called mycotoxins. These toxins can be very detrimental to both humans and animals. The side-effects of ingesting these toxic substances are called mycotoxicosis, which can be a variety of medical conditions. The most common fungi that produce mycotoxins include Fusarium, Aspergillus, and Penic...
