A method is provided to avoid risk at a workplace. The method comprises establishing an indication including a first region with a first safety level at the workplace; determining a position of an object in the workplace and generating position information; and issuing a first alert if it is determined that the object is in the first region based on the position information and the indication.

A carbon dioxide extraction system which recirculates CO2 and / or other gases in a continuous loop for maximum extraction efficiency and which recovers substantially all gases at the end of the extraction cycle for cost savings and greater workplace safety. The extractor utilizes a dual pumping system which can incorporate high vapor pressure CO2 and / or lower vapor pressure gases such as propane, butane, chemical refrigerants such as R134a, and other lower vapor pressure gases. The system allows the operators to work with supercritical CO2 alone with high pressure liquid pump(s), lower vapor pressure gases alone with modified refrigerant recovery pump(s), or a mixture of CO2 and lower vapor pressure gases using a combination of high pressure liquid pump(s) for extraction and modified refrigerant recovery pump(s) for full recovery of gases at the end of an extraction cycle.

A novel solventless process is described for the preparation of imidazole-2-thiones. The new solventless process tolerates a variety of bases as co-reactants which introduces feedstock flexibility into the process while the solventless feature renders the process more environmentally friendly by eliminating volatile organic solvents from the process, reducing energy consumption (associated with solvent recovery and / or recycling), and allows shorter reaction time and workup. Furthermore, the elimination of solvents enhances workplace safety by obviating the need for flammable and / or toxic solvents.

A method of cleaning and coating at least one surface of a container for storing a medicament or other ingestible non-pharmaceutical product, the method comprising the steps of using a water-based cleaning composition in conjunction with a water-based crosslinked acrylic resin containing coating material. The process makes the cleaning and coating technology consistent with present environmental regulations and workplace safety requirements, including control of emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Further, the concentration of extractible organic compounds has been reduced to the lowest practical level. The process is also applicable to other substrates where it is desired to have low-extractable organics and high adhesion of the subsequently applied coating.

Workplace safety is a principal concern in many environments. Protecting user ears from damage due to extended exposure to unacceptably high sound volume serves as an important component to workplace safety. Monitoring a device, such as a phone, utilized by a user often provides an incomplete picture of the sound level presented to the user. As provided herein, monitoring a user's sound exposure on one device may cause the sound level presented to the user from a second device to become limited. Additionally, over time the sound level limits may be adjusted based on the cumulative historic sound exposure. As a result, the user may avoid exposure to unacceptably high sound levels originating from more than one source and / or over an extended period of time.

A device that can receive one or more environmental measurements associated with a workplace. The device may receive one or more physiological measurements associated with the worker. One or more physiological measures may differ from one or more environmental measures. The device may generate a safety score for the worker based on the one or more environmental measurements and the one or more physiological measurements. The device can provide information about the worker based on the security score.

A method of cleaning and coating at least one surface of a container for holding a drug or other ingestible non-pharmaceutical product comprising the steps of employing an aqueous cleaning composition together with an aqueous cross-linked acrylic resin comprising a coating. The process enables cleaning and coating techniques to comply with current environmental regulations and workplace safety standards, including controlling the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In addition, the concentration of extractable organic compounds is reduced to the lowest practical level. The process can also be used for other binders that require low leachable organics and high adhesion to subsequently applied coatings.

The invention relates to a workplace safety system for a motor vehicle bodywork workshop, comprising a workplace (1) having a ventilation system (2) for the discharge of polluted air and arranged so that by means of The door or curtain (4) selectively closes or opens the entrance (3). The invention is particularly characterized in that the workshop (1) is arranged to be selectively configured in three different work modes according to three corresponding work tasks, namely: a first work mode, which is used in Preliminary dent repair work on a vehicle, where the inlet (3) remains open and the electrical socket (9) and the compressed air supply (10) for the spray gun are deactivated and the ventilation air flow is in the workshop (1) is directed mainly in the horizontal direction and is expelled through the wall ventilation outlet duct (12); second mode of operation, which is used for the spray application of the body sanding base on the vehicle, wherein the inlet (3) is closed and the electrical socket (9) remains deactivated while the compressed air supply (10) for the spray gun is activated and the ventilation air flow is still directed approximately horizontally and is discharged through the wall ventilation outlet duct (12); and a third mode of operation for welding work on board, in which the inlet (3) is closed and the electrical socket (9) is activated, while the compressed air supply (10) for the spray gun is deactivated and the ventilation air flow is directed generally in vertical direction from the floor (8) of the workshop (1) towards the roof (17) where it is expelled through the roof ventilation outlet duct (21).
