Fall Protection Equipment Saves Lives

This past spring, a contractor faced a potential $70,000 fine from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for committing a violation of fall protection safety. The violation is considered "one committed with plain indifference to or intentional disregard for employee safety and health." Allegedly, workers were exposed to a 50 foot fall while working without fall protection on a building's roof. Employees are required by the United State Department of Labor Law 1926.501(b)(2)(i) to use fall protection when working from heights of 6 feet or greater.

Too many accidents occur every year in the workplace and too many times it is because of the lack of safety equipment. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 253,440 reported cases if work-related non-fatal falls, compared to 814 fatal falls reported by private industries in 2007. Accidents are not inevitable, and falls are no different. With the right combination of education, equipment and training, you can eliminate falls from your workplace.

Working in a high-risk industry is dangerous enough, so whether you're on a roof, platform, ladder, moving vehicle, or high rise, you need protection from falling. Falls from scaffolds, roofs and ladders constitute half of all disabling falls and they are often due to loss of balance because of tripping, slipping, and shifting or unstable ladders. Unfortunately, you cannot trust your body to have excellent balance at all times. With the right fall protection equipment, you can prevent disabling injuries and fatalities in high-risk workplaces.

Fall protection is more than wearing a hard hat and a safety harness. It starts with prevention and equipment. First you must identify all the potential fall hazards in your work environment: unprotected floor openings and edges, shafts, skylights, stairwells, and roof openings. Inspect fall protection equipment for defects. Use general equipment and installations like covers, handrails, guardrails and parapet walls to help prevent falls from happening. Select and wear personal fall protection equipment appropriate for the job at hand. Educate employees on current hazardous areas, signs of potential hazards, and have them continuously monitor for ongoing fall protection. This is as easy as a weekly safety meeting, discussing procedures in using fall protection equipment and responding to emergencies.

If your company is in need of new fall protection equipment, now is a great time to upgrade for the summer months. Established in 1992, Empire Safety and Supply has been providing clients with quality fall protection equipment for high-risk work environment needs. Their product lines range from harnesses and connecting devices, to fall protection systems and rescue/escape. Empire Safety and Supply represent over 800 manufacturers to offer clients the fall protection solutions and information they require.

China's Wind Power Equipment Industry Received a Huge Order of 5.25 Million KW

On April 20th, 2009, Gold Wind won the bid of wind power concession projects of Inner Mongolia and Hebei, totaling 775,500 KW. The 517 bid machines are all GW77-1500 and the total value reaches RMB 4.187 billion (611 million USD). The delivery period spans from 2009 to 2012. XEMC won the bid of wind power concession projects of Fengning Wansheng wind power plant on Hebei Chengde wind power base, altogether 150,000 KW totaling RMB 797 million (116.3 million USD). In addition, XEMC also won the bid of wind power projects of Weichang Yudaokou wind power plant on Hebei Chengde wind power base, altogether 200,000 KW totaling RMB 796 million (116.2 million USD).

This wind power project of 5.25 million KW involves 25 wind power plants. Over 20 wind power entire-machine enterprises participate in bidding. Compared with the 3.8 million KW project bid of Gansu Jiuquan, the number of enterprises which have won the bids shows a slight increase. In the project of Gansu Jiuquan, besides Gold Wind, Sinovel and DEC, CSIC (Chongqing) Haizhuang also won a small bid. It is estimated that about 5 enterprises will win the bids this time and the share made up by the additional enterprises except the three tycoons will see an apparent increment. At present, after developing technologies and establishing productivity at early stage, altogether 70 plus wind power entire-machine enterprises have owned capability of bulk supply. Therefore, they all make great efforts to win the huge bid this time. In addition, what's worth noticing is that Guodian United Power Technology Company Ltd, a subsidiary of China Guodian Corporation, also participates in bidding for four wind power plants, some of which belong to the China Longyuan Electric Power Group Corporation, another subsidiary of China Guodian Corporation. In this way, the combination of wind power operator and wind power supplier might be a trend of China's domestic wind power market in future.

In this bidding, the price of wind power machines witnesses an apparent drop. The price of GW77-1500 bid won by Gold Wind in June 2008 stood at RMB 6398/KW that time and slipped to RMB 5399/KW this time. Although the prices of raw materials and spare parts affect the prices of bid machines, another factor of fierce competition within China's wind power equipment industry can not be ignored as well. It is predicted that the total output of Gold Wind, Sinovel and DEC in 2009 will reach 7 million KW. Even if the demand will perhaps jump to 120 million KW in 2020, China's wind power industry will represent an inevitable trend of surplus. In general, wind power entire-machine industry will see an increasingly apparent decline in gross profits in future. Certainly, there are differences between enterprises. Some will be kicked out and some excellent ones will create more profits than the average amount of the whole industry.

The increased installed capacity of China's wind power machines rose by 89 percent to 6.25 million KW in 2008 and the amount of this bid reached 5.25 million KW. It is predicted that China's demand for wind power will see an annual growth rate of 30 percent to 50 percent, for China is actively planning to build six 10-million-KW wind power bases.

TECHNOLOGY AND ASTRONOMY

Astronomy is one of those braches of science which require the most modern technology so as to improve and extend its research. It is the study of the celestial bodies which include the stars, planets, comets and even galaxies. This field is the evolution of physics, chemistry and meteorology. Technology has helped the science of astronomy to become a modern and practical science. During the times when the scientists used to observe the night sky helpless to achieve more in the field, there was the technological blessing in the form of the telescope invention. This invention helped a great deal in the practical observation of the celestial bodies and their properties. As the world advanced and brought about the breakthrough invention of the computers the theoretical side of astronomy developed and the computer was extensively used to study the analytical models of the astronomical objects. Just with the help of the most powerful and latest technologies, it could be devised about the nature of the universe and the galaxy. The number of planets and the moons associate with it with the centre Sun is the part of every educational book in the school going young children. Then it was the time, to reach the pinnacle of the field of astronomy, when the modern technology spread far and wide, knowing no limits. The invention of the rockets and space hubs lead to the man's intervention into space. This is one of those technological achievements which are still difficult to believe in. Man is now able to stand on the moon, and take samples from its surface so as to achieve excellence in the field of astronomy and give it a thorough boost. Undoubtedly, technology soon made astronomy one of the most powerful science fields.

IMPORTANCE OF MECHANICAL MODELLING IN PRODUCT DESIGN!!

Mechanical 3D models using CAD tools brings life and transparency into the design goals with respect to clash detection, clearance, aesthetics, tolerance aspects and helps communicate design ideas more effectively.

Mechanical 3D modeling is an art of crafting a methodical wire-frame demonstration of any 3D (three-dimensional) object. With CAD tools, 3D models could be displayed as an image in print using computer simulation. CAD Modeling is usually the first step in a rapid prototyping (RP) system. The conventional approach to CAD modeling is through engineering drawings. A designer inputs dimensions and interconnects lines (along with other basic shapes) using CAD software like AutoCAD, Pro-E, 3D-max.etc to create a virtual 3D model.

Benefits of using Mechanical 3D Modelling in product design are: -> Speedy validation/verification of designs against specifications & design rules -> Effective 3D visualization for full fledged manufacturing drawings -> Accurate wire-frame geometry creation -> Bi-directional parametric association (alteration of any feature is reflected in all information relying on that feature; mass properties, drawings, assemblies, etc.) -> Simplified design of assemblies, which are set of parts and/or other assemblies -> Hassle-free checking of kinematics, interference and clearance in assemblies -> It allows for 3D sectional views

With field modifications, inadequate support from the original CAD models poses a problem. The technical person on the field may have found a better way to mount the part by amending the original design, or damage to the part may demand modification to rectify the issue. This modification may not be documented in the CAD archives but can be accomplished with 3D parametric models of the mechanical design.

Also, a design engineer may want to introduce a value-added design to an existing part, but the first manufacturer of the part may not be willing to release their internal CAD files for proprietary reasons. The process of 3D modeling overcomes these problems by allowing the creation of a CAD model by scanning the existing object.

IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY IN OUR DAILY LIVES !!!

The basic lifestyle in every aspect of our daily lives, the kind of housings, our transport, fashion and entertainment all depend on technology. If we say, that it is time that the world has reached the pinnacle of advancement in these fields, it is worth mentioning that the only reason behind is the development in technology. Nothing has actually remained the same since the impact of technology has taken over our lives. It has been much better, easier and quicker. After all when was the last time someone took the headache of climbing up the stairs of a ten floor building, when the technology has presented us with the modern lift services, this is just one ordinary example of our everyday activities.

These days it is a matter of hours to travel from one part to other around the globe which was a fatal traveling attempt of years in the past. The food once stored over a block of ice for moderate temperatures, is left conveniently in refrigerators and freezers. The traveling which was done in days and weeks in the past, now only takes hours.

The inventions of computers have been a breakthrough in the field of technology. Since then all sorts of entertainment and work has started taking place over the computer and the internet. Gone are the days where we had to get bored and wait at home to be entertained only after leaving our house. Today we can sit on the couch with our laptop, and spend time on any of our interests over the internet.

Technology has basically changed the meaning of life and its struggle; comparatively every activity we indulge in is far more simplified than it was thousands of years ago.

IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY

The use of technology in various fields has been so successful and beneficial for us to reach the standards we have in this modern world that it is difficult to summarize the importance of technology, which is never ending.

The importance of technology is seen and enjoyed in every phase of our life these days. When we talk on the phone, or internet, it feels very normal to us because we are in a situation where the blessings of technology are overwhelming. Communication was never so easy, and on our finger tips ever. The printing press, telephone, internet are all some of the latest technologies which have lessened the barrier of location for people in different parts of the world.

Technology has gone as far as even saving lives of the impossible cases of medical problems. These days hospitals and medical health care centers are using such complicated machineries that portray the advancement of the technological sector in this world. It is only because of the technology that lives are being saved every time.

The technological powers have now lead the people to research, and predict the natural disasters that could hit the globe causing life threatening experiences. Its importance is so widespread not only in our daily lives but also the major world issues that technology should be the most encouraged scientific education in the coming years.

The major advancement in technology is because of the increased scientific research these days. Science has been the pillar of technology and therefore it is considered to be the most looked upon subject in the modern world due to its technological success.

Therefore it is also a major benefit for the upcoming generations to continue with the hold of the most developed technological field going on these days.
