Safety Alert: Unplanned lift descent What happened: On 21 September 2024, a near miss was reported due to an unplanned descent of a lift on a gantry crane. Following external engineers using the lift, internal engineers called the lift to the fourth level. Once it had reached the platform and the external gate had opened, the lift slowly descended away from the gate leaving an open edge. The internal engineers then isolated the lift. The external engineers had accidentally knocked the latch securing the emergency ladder inside the lift car. The shuddering of the lift ascending had caused the ladder to be released completely from the latch (image 1), falling forwards and making contact with the emergency brake release (image 2) which is designed to the allow the lift to descend in situations where power is lost, and personnel are stuck inside.

🚀 Firehorn’s Recovery System Update💥 The Firehorn team has completed another development test on the Recovery sub-system, this time focusing on the line cutter. In this test, the cutter successfully sliced through a Dyneema rope—much stronger than what we plan to use—using just 0.5g of black powder. The line cutter is a critical component in the parachute’s two-stage deployment system. Initially, the parachute opens partially, held in place by a reefing line. Once the cutter severs the line, the parachute expands to its full size, enabling a controlled descent. This test, although not involving the final design or flight hardware, demonstrates the team’s ability to experiment with various ideas during the development phase. By working with robust materials like Dyneema, we can assess whether our designs are on the right track before moving forward with a finalized version. As always, safety protocols were followed closely throughout the test. We'll continue refining this and other subsystems in the coming months, stay tuned!🚀✨ Main Sponsors: APCO Technologies SA | EPFL | Constellium Gold Sponsors: Kistler Group | maxon | 3D PRECISION SA | Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Technology (SBOT) | Swagelok Switzerland | ARBOR Fluidtec AG #RocketDevelopment #LineCutterTest #EngineeringProcess #FirehornRocket #RecoverySystem #SubsystemTesting #SpaceTech #EPFLRocketTeam

This is an excellent explanation of the airlock and positive pressure management system in #CBRN protected #shelters. 💡 The gradation of pressure between the outer chamber, airlock and main chamber is a key design feature that not only ensures the integrity of the shelter, but also protects against contamination in real-world scenarios. By maintaining a controlled flow of air from the shelter to the outside, you essentially create a defensive barrier that minimizes risk during entry and exit, especially during a CBRN event. It's fascinating to see engineering precision play such a key role in life-saving technology! 🛡 Well done Atmas!! 👍🏠

The first step in any DSEAR/ATEX assessment is to identify potential hazards that could cause harm, damage, or injury. This may involve reviewing data sheets, carrying out site inspections, and identifying potential ignition sources. https://lnkd.in/eVn96RGz #Atex7steps #AtexSpecialists #ElectricalContractors #ProcessSafety #IncidentInvestigation #ExpertWitness #HSE #HSA #ImpartialAdvice

One important aspect of PPE maintenance is paying attention to expiry dates and best-before dates on your gear to ensure optimal protection. To manage expiry dates: 🔁 Check dates regularly - make it a habit to review expiry dates on your PPE. 🔁 Keep records - maintain a log of when items need to be replaced. 🔁 Replace on time - don’t wait until the last minute, plan ahead for replacements. If you’re unsure about your PPE maintenance and expiry dates, speak to your employer for guidance. #tech5 #healthandsafety #expirydates #PPE

Today's #toptip is all about preventing problems before they happen. Preventative maintenance is crucial for accredited laboratories, especially those complying with ISO 17025 standards. Regular maintenance not only ensures the accuracy and reliability of testing results but also helps in identifying and resolving potential issues before they escalate. By conducting routine checks, calibrations, and equipment inspections, laboratories can prevent breakdowns, minimize downtime, and maintain the quality of their services. Ultimately, investing time and resources in preventative maintenance can lead to cost savings, improved efficiency, and enhanced credibility for accredited laboratories. #accreditation #ISO17025 #metrology #calibration #toptiptuesday
