| Abstract |
This manual contains instructional resource material for a six-hour course module covering the engineering control of occupational health hazards in the foundry industry. The intended primary audience for the course is technical personnel responsible for developing and implementing engineering solutions to occupational health problems. The purpose of the course is to teach the principles and concepts underlying engineering control, through evaluation and discussion of in-place and functioning control measures found in industry. Prior to discussion of control measures, basic foundry processes are briefly described as well as foundry air contaminants and their sources and modes of dispersion. Engineering control measures include material substitution, process isolation, and exhaust ventilation. Maintenance and monitoring of engineering control system performance is also discussed, in addition to housekeeping, and research and development for new and improved engineering control techniques. |
