The American Standard Americast Bathtub

!±8± The American Standard Americast Bathtub

American Standard's Americast bathtub is made of a durable lightweight alternative to cast iron. The material called Americast is exclusively manufactured by American Standard. Americast bathtubs are half the weight of its cast iron counterparts; yet have the same structural thickness. The rich enamel colors provide excellent heat retention.

The Americast tubs were seven years of research and testing in the making. In 1988, Americast was introduced to the public. The unique three-layer construction consists of a smooth porcelain-enamel finish bound to high-quality alloy that is backed by an injection-molded structure. The backing structure material helps protect the porcelain finish from chipping and crazing. The composition of these tubs allowed for a deeper more usable bathing space.

American Std began marketing with the Princeton model. It is now available in six models and continues to be popular. Features such as a Luxury Ledge for holding toiletries has been added to the original design. The installation flexibility of the bathtub has been unsurpassed. The company's plant in Salem, OH handles all manufacturing of the Americast tubs.

Installation of your American Standard Americast bathtub can be handled by yourself if you are comfortable or the contractor of your choice may perform the task. The bathtub may be shipped to your door in some situations. There are currently three different models available. These are:

o The Stratford features a glossy porcelain finish and full slip resistant surface. This model is available in the colors Arctic, Linen, Silver, Bone, Fawn Beige and White. This bathtub is available in a whirlpool model.

o The Princeton features a glossy porcelain finish, slip resistant surface, beveled headrest and built in lumbar support. This classic Americast bathtub has an innovative Luxury Ledge for toiletries. Colors available in this model are Bone, White, Fawn Beige, Black, Linen, and Silver.

o The Cambridge model is a five foot bathtub. Due to it's rugged construction, several commercial institutions around the globe use this American Standard bathtub. This model is available in the same colors as the Princeton. A whirlpool can be added to this bathtub if you desire.

American Standard Americast Bathtub's have easy cleaning recommendations and care instructions. Using a non-abrasive cleaner such as powdered Bon Ami, Spic 'N Spam, didi seven or ZUD on stains; wet and wipe off the surface. A scouring pad or other abrasive material should not be used.

All American Standard Americast bathtubs feature a "Stan-Sure" slip resistant enamel surface. This finish is obtained by mixing porcelain and hard quartz to produce a safer surface. This built in safety feature can reduce the need for mildew and bacteria harboring mats and unsightly tapes in the bottom of your bathtub. Please note that soap and body oils may accumulate on surfaces, therefore routine cleaning and maintenance is recommended to protect you and your American Standard bathtub.

Work Area Safety In Industrial Plants

!±8± Work Area Safety In Industrial Plants

To make your work area safe you must know what hazards you can expect to encounter and what to do to control and eliminate them. The information contained here explains the importance of working safely and methods for controlling safety in your work area.

Here we briefly describe many of the hazards frequently encountered in plants like Built-in hazards, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical and Environmental hazards.

BUILT- IN HAZARDS: Certain features of plant layout and design like location of equipments, stairs, entrance and exits, the layout of floors, platforms, lighting arrangements, heating and ventilation systems are already exist i.e. built-in that you cannot change. These can cause accidents and the best you can do is to recognize and avoid them.

MECHANICAL HAZARDS: In various cases of accidents chances of moving parts of machinery or tools are involved. A worker has to take special care to keep his clothes, body and tools away from moving machinery. When a machine has to be shut down for repairs the machine electrical controls must be locked and warning signs must be posted on the panel like "Danger. Do not start, personnel working".

Working on pipe lines, tubing system will produce exposures to heat and pressure, avoid accident by isolate the system and cool down and de-pressurize it.

Many plants have hand trucks, forklifts etc for moving material within the designated aisles, if a work is to be done near or traffic paths protect yourself and others by placing signs and barricades to warn traffic or else the result could be serious injury if your ladder is struck by passing vehicle. Do not place the tools and material in such a way that they are not a hazard to traffic by falling in the aisle.

Temporary scaffoldings, platforms are erected while working at heights, on buildings walls, roof and ceilings. These items should have railing and guards to keep workers, tools and materials from sliding and falling off the edge. Place signs below the scaffold to warn the passerby of the falling objects. Make sure a worker is attentive and cautious while working at height, as a slip could have been fatal. Ladders in use for working at height must be secured from both top and bottom and should be at safe angle, steps of ladders should be clear of tools, grease etc. Hanging scaffolding are secured by rope rigging from top and the platform should be level because if the rope at one end breaks or loose the platform can swing down to vertical position rapidly dumping off workers and material. Safety belts and harness should be use to secure yourself while working on heights and roofs.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: occasionally worker is required to work in hot conditions near boiler or heaters though such are normally insulated but generally there is some heat in the area. Place an air blower to supply cool air & expel the hot air. Prolong exposure in high temperature work areas can cause heat cramp and heat exhaustion. Severe and rapid stomach or muscle cramps are due to excessive loss of body moisture and salt. Dizziness, weak pulse, lower than normal body temperature, heavy sweating are the signs of Heat exhaustion. Taking Salt tablets and Drink water in moderate amounts are routine preventive measures for both heat cramps and exhaustion.

When working in enclosed areas, follow recommended safety measures. A person should be kept standby at the entrance, wear a safety harness and a lifeline so if you are overcome you can be pulled out. Enclosed space should be vented by air blower of toxic or inflammable fumes. Oxygen content in that space to be checked before entering. Do not wear nylon clothing and use non-sparking tool in an enclosed space to prevent sparking which can cause explosion in case working in a fuel tank. An explosion proof hand lamp should be used in such spaces.

Radiation from X-rays and radioactive material can cause severe damage to the human body. Wear special protective clothing to reduce exposure to the radiation. Radiation area should be clearly marked with radiation signs.

CHEMICAL HAZARDS: This is one of the most treacherous hazard, where chemicals are concerned one should know the properties and hazard of particular chemical involved. Read material safety data provided with it before handling. Wear protective clothes, gloves, fresh air mask and goggles or face shield. Make sure the chemical not to be splashed or spilled.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS: Almost every job you perform will include exposure to electricity and its dangers. Avoid touching energized or hot wire. Always use equipment & tools, which are grounded and insulated. Do not use frayed, damaged or spliced chords. Avoid moist clothes, shoes, tools and hands. Metal objects and water is good conductor of electricity. Insulate nearby metal objects. Avoid wet surfaces and place insulating mats while working on panel.

10 Green Landscaping Ideas

!±8± 10 Green Landscaping Ideas

The idea of "going green" has become one of the world most followed trends in the past couple of years and people are looking for more and more ways to live "green" and as environmentally friendly as possible. This is done by recycling and conserving water, but living "green" can go beyond this - even your garden can be designed to be eco-friendly.

Reel Lawn Mowers: these lawn mowers are muscle-powered, which means there is no engine. This is definitely an eco-friendly alternative to gas-powered rotary mowers and a great way to conserve energy. They do the job, while saving energy and keeping the air clean. They make cutting long grass hard, but they are safe, quiet, save money by being low maintenance and do not pollute. Healthy Soil: Keeping your soil healthy with fertilizer rich in organic matter reduces maintenance and will ultimately save large amounts of water. Some soil can keep water for longer. Healthy soil means increased life for your plants. Recycle what you already have: By using rocks, bricks, wood and other discarded materials from your garden, you will not have to buy more to give your garden character and this will prevent the need for elements that breaks down nature in the manufacturing process. Pollution is reduced and fewer trees are cut for decoration. Use regionally native plants: by using mostly native plants, you make maintenance easier and more cost-effective, because they will grow easier. They are adapted to the environment and will attract beneficial insects and wildlife. It will provide a better habitat for surrounding plants and animals. Do not use harmful chemicals: chemicals like pesticides disturb the balance in the environment and can kill some plants and animals while polluting the ground and water. There are many natural alternatives, like certain fertilizers that repel insects. Time watering correctly: water your garden at night or early in the morning. This will save large amounts of water, because watering at the hottest part of the day will cause water to evaporate and your plants can dry out. Plant trees in strategic places: you can easily save energy by planting larger trees on the north side of your house. This will help keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter, when shedding trees will let sunlight through. Plants evergreens where winds are known to blow and this will further save energy in winter by reducing heating measures you will have to take. Making your garden edible: if you plant your own vegetables and certain plants and spices usable in food, you will help the environment by reducing the toll farming takes. Make sure you correctly place plants that grow well together. Lights that save: if you have garden lighting, equip them with motion detectors and solar-powered capabilities to save energy. Take it a step further and make your whole house solar powered. Mulching: place mulching around plants and trees to keep moisture locked in for longer. If you use environmentally friendly materials, like coconut fibre mats, bark or shredded "green" paper, it will decompose and not pollute the environment.

You can, by re-designing your landscape, make the earth cleaner and be more sensitive towards the environment.
