This article examines the experience in 5S methodology implementation in order to optimize the work and safety of the university engineering laboratories, in such a way that the results obtained can be extended to other, similar centers. The research project developed has created an organization culture of all resources in the practice laboratories. A working model was defined to create a 5S st...

We present a new finishing process that is capable of locally shaping and polishing optical surfaces of complex shapes. A fluid jet system is used to guide a premixed slurry at pressures less than 6 bars to the optical surface. We used a slurry comprising water and 10% #800 SiC abrasives (21.8 mum) to reduce the surface roughness of a BK7 sample from 350 to 25 nm rms and to vary the shape of a ...

Case histories of 263 incidents involving runaway reactions of the type A + B→ products, carried out in industrial batch reactors have been analysed on the basis of unit processes involved, initiating factors and type of industry. The case histories were drawn from Health and Safety Executive files, industrial records and the open literature. Although the data has no absolute statistical value,...
