Question 11
Identify two oxides of nitrogen that are included in the NOx category. Explain the acute and chronic effects of each.
Question 12
At a metal processing plant, sheet steel became jammed in a tempering mill. An operator began using a cutting torch to remove the steel. Hot slag from the torch ignited oil deposits and oil-soaked paper towels lying around the machine. This caused exposed hydraulic and lubricating lines to weaken. Leaking oil ignited, resulting in a fierce blaze that damaged the machinery and a portion of the roof deck and framing above the machinery. For the next three months, sheet steel had to be sent off-site for tempering until the mill could be restored to service. The total loss was estimated at more than $3 million. After the loss, management agreed to begin using a hot work permit system.
a. Use the following link to explain the typical contents of a hot work permit:
b. Describe how use of a hot work permit could have prevented the above incident.
