It was a board converting plant. The product is not important. It was a continuous process and there was a need to apply a line of PVA adhesive to the edges of the board as it traveled through a series of rollers. The system was pressure fed from a central adhesive supply. The set up was probably designed for a smaller, precision application as there were fine, micrometer type adjustments everywhere. The adhesive application was from a “shoe” type of plate with fine holes at the base. The whole assembly was on a circular bar for lateral adjustment located across the machine. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of this set up but it was a nightmare. |

Most people involved with workplace safety are very aware of the iceberg theory. Its very simple. For every recorded incident sitting above the surface, there are many unrecorded near misses submerged below the surface. Capture the near misses and act on the causes in order to reduce or eliminate actual incidents occurring. In most companies an incident results in a rigorous Incident Report, an inquest into why the incident happened and actions to prevent it from happening again. All well and good and very necessary |

Are you a “Gunna” when it comes to paperwork and “stuff” on your desk ? It's all too common with Engineers. That magazine article that you must read (but haven't got the time right now), that product information that you need to catch up on (but haven't got the time right now), that hard copy of the report (but haven't got the time right now), those spare nuts and bolts, broken machine parts, the xxxx, the yyyy, the zzzz. |

It used to be a standard requirement for all Engineers, clipboards are good but a note book in the top pocket was better. An essential requirement for capturing those thoughts, quick calculations, the next major design breakthrough, explaining a theory, developing a concept, doodling in boring meetings and much much more. |

All too often , people switch off the safety mindset when they leave their place of work . Whether at work or not, there is a need to think and act safely, always. Because of the high safety focus in most industrial work situations, there is a tendency for people to “switch off”, when not in the work environment. It is very common for the mindset to be “at work = high danger, non work places = low to zero danger”. Of course the reality is that danger is lurking everywhere and we need to think and act accordingly. |

 Time to get on the Soap Box for the 10 minute tirade. I work in Engineering and Manufacturing – have done for years – we design, make, install, fix, improve and do a flipping (work it out for yourself ) good job, even if I do say so myself. Every now and again it comes around and it’s the now – now . Some bright spark in Head Office decides that we need to spend mega bucks on a flash motivational speaker/presentation type rev up. |
