Casual Articles - Utilizing New Technologies to Prevent Workplace Burn Injuries
A business plan is your most important tool when going after financing -- private and government -- says James Byrne, Director of the Small Business Consumer Centre.Byrne offers these tips to make your business plan stand out from the crowd.1. The process is as important as the plan itself. Do it yourself, and you'll come away from the experience with a more in-depth, more organized and more crystal-clear vision of your business. If the investor sees that you've invested the time, energy and unified effort to develop your own business plan, you're al

I will give email communication the respect and value it deserves as a quick, acceptable and reliable form of internet communication.I will reply to an email within 24 hours or sooner, even if the reply consists of a few words (i.e. Great, Thanks, Sorry, Yes, No, Call me, etc.).I will use spell check and I will reread my emails prior to hitting the send button; because I understand that my email communications are a reflection on me.I will refrain from using abbreviations and email slang in my work related emails.I will address the person
Burn and scald injuries lead the way in workplace injuries that result in lost time from work (average of 5 days per year per burn or scald according the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Publication No. 2004 -146). The economic impact to employers and employees alike as a result of these injuries can be overwhelming. A recent study conducted in Oregon State suggested the average cost in that state for burn injuries is $5,400 USD per incidence!
The Hazards
A major burn hazard source is found in industrial plants that utilize steam process lines. In many typical applications hot steam lines are initially covered with a permanent fixture of hard lagging and mineral wool insulation. As plant processes evolve or if system problems occur, sections of insulation are often removed for troubleshooting, pipe replacement or line reconfiguration. The removed sections of insulation are usually irreparably damaged. Replacement costs for these small sections can be cost prohibitive utilizing traditional insulation techniques. The result is that the insulation is often never replaced thereby creating a potential burn hazard.
A second major burn hazard source occurs at high temperature flexible (steam/oil/heat traced) hoses that are connected to moving machinery or equipment. Traditional hard lagging insulating technologies are not flexible and therefore are not capable of servicing these hoses. The result is that the hoses are left un-insulated thereby creating a potential burn hazard for personnel who service or operate adjacent equipment.

What is a commodity? According to the Webster Dictionary the word commodity is defined as a a good or service whose wide availability typically leads to smaller profit margins and diminishes the importance of factors (as brand name) other than price.In a commodity market, many companies compete and none enjoys a competitive advantage. Meaning, that each firm has equal access to such necessities as technologies, capital, clients, and labor. For example, a financial service firm that sell stock. Let’s face, all stock is the same.

Non-profit organizations have probably established web-presence to present the goals of the organization, to provide information about current and finished projects and probably attract more people to join you. These institutions can include educational facilities (schools, faculties, and research institutes), embassies, organizations supporting businesses or even government bodies.If you are a non-profit website owner, you must also have goals identified which you are trying to achieve through web-presence. For example: bloggers, independent journalists or e

Rubber compounding companies have been using batch inclusion plastic bags for years to increase productivity and assure batch to batch uniformity. However, these particular packaging bags, also known as low melt bags, can also be counted on to reduce product loss, decrease solid waste disposal costs and most importantly minimize worker exposure to hazardous materials. As the cost of plastic resin continues to spiral upward here are 7 ways to minimize or even eliminate a price increase.1. Consider using thinner material. Recent advances in film technology c
The scenarios above represent just two of literally thousands of common applications where the potential for a serious workplace burn injury exists.
The Solution
Recent advancements in thermal protection technologies are utilizing closed cell silicone sponge rubber materials to create a wrap for protecting hot process lines. Unlike traditional mineral wool the sponge wrap system does not required a hard lagging to contain the insulation material. It is extremely flexible and may be cut to length with an ordinary pair of scissors to allow for easy installation by in house maintenance staff.
In many cases the insulation wrap is equipped with a hook and loop closure to further simplify the installation on existing lines without line disconnection or interruption. The hook and loop closure also allows for easy access to process lines while performing maintenance procedures or trouble-shooting system components.
Due to its ease of installation and removable characteristics the sponge wrap provides a good solution for protecting flexible hoses and sections of process lines that are otherwise left void of insulation.
The Technology
This new technology introduces the use of closed cell silicone sponge rubber as a thermal protection medium. This material has a very low thermal conductivity and a high temperature resistance making it an excellent choice as a burn protection medium.
Unlike traditional insulation technologies (consisting fibrous materials and hard outer cladding) silicone sponge rubber wrap is easy to install and does not require the expertise and skills of a professional contractor. The result is that the cellular silicone sponge wrap is a cost effective technology that is well suited covering a variety of potential burn surfaces.
