Confined Space Entry Guide to Compliance

Confined Space Entry Guide to Compliance

FROM THE PREFACEThis book brings together (in one text) all of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's regulatory requirements for making safe and proper confined space entries. Because confined space entry is a complicated procedure-and a process that contains inherent risks-those concerned with safety in the work place are constantly concerned with how to reduce the risks associated with confined space entry how to eliminate or decrease the hazards workers face in confined spaces and how to prevent injuries and fatalities from occurring in confined spaces. But comprehensive materials on confined space entry are difficult to find. Surprisingly little material on the subject is commercially available. Confined Space Entry: A Guide to Compliance collects all of the associated requirements and regulations including OSHA's Confined Space Lockout/Tagout Respiratory Protection Standards and Hot Work Permit requirements in this guidebook. These separate specific safety standards and requirements have been combined and organized-as they should be since each is married to the other-in a way that enables you (the user) to easily determine the critical relationship(s) between and among them-but more importantly to teach you how to enter confined spaces safely-and how to provide workers with effective training for proper confined space entry. Written in user-friendly jargon-free plain English this guidebook provides you with clear sample programs to serve as models when you write your own programs. Workers have a growing need for more knowledge of the hazards of their work environments-and especially of confined spaces. To fulfill this imperative need individuals and government must work together to better inform-and protect-these workers as they are exposed to a variety of complex and potentially life-threatening situations in confined spaces. The message this text delivers is simple: The better both workers and management understand | Confined Space Entry Guide to Compliance

Physics Of Space Plasmas An Introduction

Physics Of Space Plasmas An Introduction

This textbook was developed to provide seniors and first-year graduate students in physical sciences with a general knowledge of electrodynamic phenomena in space. Since the launch of the first unmanned satellite in 1957 experiments have been performed to study the behavior of electromagnetic fields and charged particles. There is now a considerable amount of data on hand and many articles including excellent review articles have been written for the specialists. However for students new researchers and non-specialists a need still exists for a book that integrates these observations in a coherent way. This book is an attempt to meet that need by using the theory of classical electrodynamics to unify space observations. The contents of this book are based on classroom notes developed for an introductory space physics course that the author has taught for many years at the University of Washington. Students taking the course normally have had an undergraduate course in electricity and magnetism but they come with very little knowledge about space. | Physics Of Space Plasmas An Introduction
