PREFACE
In 1982, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health issued a contract to the Safety Division, ASME to develop an occupational safety and health instructional module for undergraduate Mechanical Engineering students. This document represents the results of that effort which the authors expect will find a welcome audience among Mechanical Engineering design instructors and certainly students. Worker protection is an important product of the engineering design process which requires increased attention by the engineering profession.
The authors wish to express our gratitude to the following persons for their participation in the development and review of this document; John Talty, who served as the NIOSH project officer; John Etherton, Thomas Bloom, and Robert Hughes of NIOSH who served as technical reviewers.
FOREWORD – TO THE INSTRUCTOR
This booklet is intended to supplement the textbook selected for use in the basic Mechanical Engineering design course. The materials presented herein can be covered in depth over a period of three hours, or one week of a typical single semester course. This booklet has been written in simple terms so that it can be read and understood by third year Mechanical Engineering students who have had little or no exposure to the fundamental concepts of occupational safety and health. Wherever possible, the principles developed are illustrated with examples which should be familiar to such students. At the end of the unit, there are several practical examples which demonstrate how these principles can be applied in a realistic setting. The students’ appreciation of these ideas can be reinforced by assigning a similar project for grading and critiquing by their classmates. Individual students, or squads of two or three, should choose an industrial production system, workstation, process, or product of intermediate complexity and thoroughly evaluate it by concentrating exclusively on safety and health. Such a structured exercise, where safety and health are the dominant design objectives, should provide an insight into this infrequently highlighted aspect of design. A modified work environment, production sequence, or a new system should then be suggested. Its advantages over the existing approach should be explained with special emphasis on improved safety and health techniques to protect either the production workers and/or the ultimate users. The negative features which such changes may introduce such as increased costs should be taken into account. Contrasting techniques which reduce potentially adverse effects should be compared and carefully evaluated.
Examples have been used wherever possible to illustrate design principles. However, the availability of appropriate quantitative examples is limited because they usually fall into one of two general categories. Either they are simple substitutions of measured data into empirically derived formulas, or they may require a great deal of supplementary information (usually specialized in nature) in order to be appreciated. Finally, there is little incentive for companies to publicize such data. In many instances, it can only serve to illustrate a certain lack of responsibility in the design and manufacture of products, equipment and facilities.
Throughout this unit the instructor needs to emphasize the following universal points which are often overlooked:
1. Well designed systems which are based upon the application of fundamental engineering principles must also take safety into account.
2. Product hazards are not only design related, but may also spring from other concerns such as defects in manufacturing, packaging or handling.
3. Designers cannot function in a vacuum, but need to interface with key personnel from other areas of the firm such as quality control, production, and customer relations.
4. There are a number of key differences in meaning between similar terms used both in engineering analysis and adverserial courtroom situations.
Obviously one will not become an expert in occupational safety and health after completing this elementary three hour unit. Its
