3、d in 1972 under the sponsorship of the American FoundrySociety, Inc. Standard for Safety Requirements in Metal Casting OperationsSand Preparation,Molding, and Core Making; Melting and Pouring; and Cleaning and Finishing.The metal casting industry shares safety considerations with many other industri

4、es requiring themovement of heavy objects, the use of large ovens and melt furnaces, and processing of hot materials.In addition, there are safety considerations common to all industries. The present trend is towards thedevelopment of industry-wide standards wherever the need for safety consideratio

5、ns exists. Thispractice, therefore, is limited to safety considerations of special importance in the metal castingindustry operations in which general standards do not exist or are not considered adequate. Thispractice is not intended to supersede or replace any applicable federal, state, or local g

6、overnmentalsafety regulations or requirements, but rather, it is intended to augment and support any suchrequirements. Operating rules are not included in this practice unless they are vital to safety.Compliance with this practice should provide a relatively safe environment, which is a fundamentalr

19、ents of applying the design, construction, and operation of the machinery and equipmentused in metal casting operationssand preparation, molding and core making, melting and pouring, and cleaning and finishing.This practice does not apply to die casting operations.1.2 PurposeThe requirements of this

20、 practice, including the training of supervisors and employees, are intended to minimizethe possibility of injury to operating and maintenance personnel while working on, or in the vicinity of, the specified equipment.Compliance with this practice, in conjunction with OSHA regulations, provides a re

21、latively safe environment, which is afundamental requisite in helping to prevent occupational injuries.1.3 Application:1.3.1 New InstallationsAfter the date of publication, all new installations within the scope of this specification shall be inconformance with its requirements. Any existing machine

22、 installation moved to a new plant or another location in the same plantis deemed a new installation when it is installed in the new location. However, an existing installed machine (former installation)that is moved for a short distance, for example, to provide additional aisle space, is not deemed

23、 to be a new installation.1.3.2 Existing InstallationsAfter the approval date of this practice, installations existing on, or before, this date, shall bemodified as necessary to be in conformance with all requirements of this practice. Where it is not practical to modify an existingfacility in confo

24、rmance with this practice, deficiencies shall be noted and plans for compliance shall be included in any futurefacility or equipment changes. Those facilities and equipment on order or in the process of construction on the date of publicationof this practice shall be considered as an existing instal

25、lation. This practice applies to existing equipment if it lacks the necessaryemployee protection (personal protective equipment or administrative controls).1.4 The values stated in inch/pound units are to be regarded as the standard.

Secondary protection is only justifiable when there is nopractical alternative, that is, when primary protection is not practical and when regular disciplined maintenance is

49、present. Theoperator, whose constant attitude should be one of caution, should understand the fact that operator protection devices such asE2349 187interlocked guards are secondary protection. Frequent inspections of such protective devices should be made. Locking a STOPpush button in the actuated position instead of using OSHA lockout/tagout is an example of a dangerous attempt to use secondaryprotection against machine movement.3.2.87 protective device, nmeans whereby personnel access to a hazard zone or area is
