made of thermal shock-resistant glass Light output is practically unaffected by surround ing temperatures, except for a few types made with only a single envelope Like fluorescent lamps, mercury lamps also require devices that limit the current Mercury lamps for general lighting are available with either "clear" or phosphorcoated bulbs, of various sizes and shapes, from 75 to 1000 watts There is also a 3000 watt clear mercury lamp Typical efficiencies range from 40 to 60 lumens per watt, not in cluding 10 to 20 percent power loss in the ballast.

17--Building Construction and Maintenance Fic 17-14 --Swing stage scaffold failure Each man on a swinging scaffold should wear a safety belt tied off to a separate lifeline Drawing at nght shows accident to man who was not wearing safety belt Wooden scaffolds Built up and suspended scaffolds may be made of wooden structural members, but, as previously suggested, steel tubing should be the first choice For details on construction and design of wooden scaffolds, refer to American National Standard Safety Requirements for Scaffolding, A10 8 Working platforms The working platform of all built up, sus 422 pended, and rolling scaffolds (except those manufactured with a platform provided) should be solidly planked The platforms should be provided with guard rails and toeboards, and overhead pro tection, when needed (See the discussions earlier m this chapter ) Working platform planking should be 2 x 10's with one-foot overlaps on bearer Loads that planks can carry depend on the size of the planks, the type of wood from which they are made, and the span between supports

21--Occupational Health Services recommended that a first aid facility of some sort be set up in all establishments regardless of size This may range from a deluxe first aid kit to a well staffed first aid and medical facility, depending on the size of the estab lishment First aid kits and supplies should be kept in a central location readily accessible to the establishment or department Under no circumstances should medical supplies be spread about the plant for self-administration by employees Where there is no nurse in charge, a supervisory employee for each shift should be delegated the responsibility for all medical supplies A careful recoid should be kept of each ad ministration of first aid and an injury investi gation report sent to the injured person's supervisor at the time first aid is administered Establishments that do not have a full-time medical doctor should maintain good liaison with a doctor, or doctors, designated to handle plant injuries The doctor should be invited to the plant occasionally to evaluate the quality of first aid procedure, to make recommenda tions for improvement, and occasionally to toui the establishment, as discussed earlier in this chapter The company-designated doctor (or doctors) should be well aware of the type of work done so he may better evaluate informa tion given him by patients The doctor or nurse or supervisor designated should rou tinely inspect first aid supplies, stretchers, and stretcher locations Definition and limitations.

34--Welding and Cutting Fig 34--10 --Self-standing safety shield provides close-quarter protection, rolls up for storage meter should be installed at each torch con nection Air is used to cool the torch and electric current cables Water is also used for cooling, generally where the welding current is more than 250 amp The water supply line, even if city water is used, should be equipped with a strainer to keep out impurities which might get into the torch and plug the water cool ing passages In the gas-shielded tungsten aic torch (Fig 34--9), gas is conducted to the welding point through orifices in the toich around the elec trode holdei Cooling water goes thiough passages through the torch handle and about the holder In the smaller torches, ceramic cups are used A toich for heavier woik gen erally has a water-cooled gas cup Other Welding and Cutting Processes There are several heat sources for welding and cutting which are presently m the expenmental stage, such as friction, ultiasonics, and 966 lasers During each stage of their develop ment, these heat sources require guarding and the evolution of a set of safe practices For example, the laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) presents the hazard of eye damage from the optically amplified light beam, which because of its intensity, can do damage even at great dis tances All employees should theiefore be given preemployment and periodic followup eye examinations Most companies require that employees work m pairs when using laser equipment To confine the laser beam, suitable shields should be developed and installed Since a reflected laser beam is also hazardous, the woik area should contain no glossy surfaces Power supplies for lasers are high-voltage equipment, which should be operated with the precautions developed for this type of equipment See discussion in Chapter 19, "Personal Pro tective Equipment" and Chapter 37, "In dustrial Hygiene " Common Hazards Light rays Electric arcs and gas flames both produce ultraviolet and infrared rays which have a harmful effect on the eyes and skin upon con tinued or repeated exposure The usual effect of ultraviolet is to "sunburn" the surface of the eye, which is painful and disabling but temporary in most instances However, per manent eve injury may result from looking directly into a veiy powerful arc without eye protection Ultraviolet may also produce the same effects on the skin as a severe sunburn Production of ultraviolet radiation is high in gas-shielded arc welding For example, a shield of argon gas around the arc doubles the intensity of the ultraviolet radiation, and, with the greater cunent densities required (paiticulariy with a consumable electrode), the intensity may be five to thirty times as great as with non-shielded welding such as coveied electrode oi gas-shielded metal arc welding Infrared has only the effect of heating the tissue with which it comes m contact If the heat is not enough to cause an ordinary ther-
