Very interesting sound insulation

Vít Hofman — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 10:29:38 +0000

It is a vacuum pump for a pneumatic conveying system. It's very noisy.

The employer therefore decided to soundproof the room. He used paper egg trays to do this.

Highly flammable material. This is definitely not right!

Damaged ladder stabilizer

How often do you check your ladder?

And what about a ladder with a damaged stabilizer?

Would you use it? Or rather eliminate?

Dangerous gas hose

Vít Hofman — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 07:02:59 +0000

The gas hose from the forklift's pressure cylinder must not protrude beyond the forklift's contour!

This can easily catch it on the workplace structure and damage or tear the hose and cause a gas leak.

Some employees can be very irresponsible. A completely unnecessary risk in the workplace.

Belt conveyor without bottom safety guard

Vít Hofman — Sat, 13 Mar 2021 21:49:14 +0000

There is definitely a risk of catching people here!
Loose clothing, long hair, limbs ...

Conveyors must have a bottom safety

guard.
It is also advisable to exclude the movement of persons in the space under the conveyor.

In our country, this is work at a height where it is necessary to be protected against falling.

And how is it with you?

Although it is a relatively small height, the injury can also be fatal!

Dangerously fixed electrical socket strip

This really may not be a good idea!

The photo was taken at a high school that teaches future electricians!

Damaged press foot control

Vít Hofman — Sat, 13 Mar 2021 20:55:29 +0000

The protective cover of the foot control must prevent the pedal from being accidentally activated, eg by a fall of material or accidental contact with the feet.

A damaged cover must be repaired or replaced immediately!

It may be stupid, but the injury can be serious!
