46 Introduction to Basic Manufacturing Processes and Workshop Technology
Adequate protection should always be provided against dangerous fume. No person be
allowed to enter confined spaces, chamber, tanks etc. in which dangerous fumes are likely to
be present. If a manufacturing process is producing dust, fumes, or vapors, sufficient measures
should always be taken to prevent inhalation of the same by industrial personnel.
3.10.1 Scope of Factory Act Regulation
Every industrial establishment employing ten or more persons where manufacturing process
is carried on with the power and employing twenty or more persons where power is not used
for manufacturing process, come under the scope of this act. All types of seasonal and
perennial factories are included under this act without any distinction. The factory act has
been en-forced in all the states of India. For installing an industry licensing and registration
of the factory are also required from the government under the factory act regulation. Every
industry should be registered by sending the registration documents to the chief inspector of
factory with a written notice containing details of the factory such as the name of the factory,
name and address of the factory owner, details of power used type of production.
3.11 ELECTRICAL SAFETY MEASURES
If a person receives electric shock of mild or serious kind, directly or indirectly, the same
must be reported as electric accident. In case of stoppage of breathing after electric shock to
any victim, one should remove all sorts of obstructions from the mouth of the victim. Then
he should sit on his knees near the head of the victim and keep your both hands on his near
the collar bone, in such a way that the thumbs of both hands touch each other the fingers
remain open. He should press the back of the patient slowly and release the pressure on the
back and move up to the shoulders by sliding palms. Then the victim should be pulled upward
by holding the patient’s arm in between his elbows and shoulders. This process is repeated
until patient starts breathing himself.
Based on past experience, a number of rules and regulations have been made for handling
of electrical appliances. In industry, an inquiry is normally ordered for electrical accident.
Items carrying electricity should be properly insulated. Ageing of insulation withstand capacity
and should not be allowed to leak current. Switching contacts and point contacts should be
checked periodically to sparking and point heating. Important electric preventive measures
are
1. All metallic parts, externally accessible must always be earthed.
2. No inflammable materials are kept near electrical appliances, electric line wires or
electric control panels.
3. Electric safety devices like fuse, circuit breakers over-tripping must be always used
where ever required.
4. All defective and worn-out electric fittings must be replaced.
5. No untrained persons should be allowed to repair electrical faults.
6. Safety belts, helmet, rubber gloves, boots with rubber soles, and other safety items
always are used by electrician while dealing or working with high voltage. These
appliances should be provided to all electric mechanics.
7. Overloading of any electric circuit must be avoided.
8. The electric appliances when not in use must be dis-connected from main supply.
