7.18 Read the following extract from an electricity company newsletter. What procedure does the article describe?

A helicopter hovers between the towering pylons of an extra-high-voltage power line. In a cradle, suspended several metres below the aircraft, stand two line men, shrouded in hooded, stainless-steel threaded hot suits. Just a few feet away is a live electric cable, fizzing with 400,000 volts. One of the men, holding a short metal wand, reaches out towards the cable. Pocket-sized lightning bolts arc through the air. There's no discernible electric shock, just a slight tingling sensation. A lead is then clipped to the live cable to maintain an electrical connection with the cradle and helicopter. The line men are now on, and maintenance work on the live power line can begin.

Discussing regulations and standards

7.20 Pair work. Discuss what statements and examples refer to regulations and mmarize and make up the definition for each term. Give some examples of organisations and departments in your country and international bodies that produce these kinds of rules.

Regulations	Standards
they are laws
they can refer quality or design
if companies breach them they can be fined
if people breach them they can be given prison sentence in serious cases
they are compulsory
they can be both compulsory and optional
they can refer to safety

7.21 Offshore oil platforms are covered by extensive safety regulations and design standards. In pairs, discuss the main hazards that oil platform workers face and suggest some safety precautions that need to be taken.

7.22 Ω Isobel, a Health and Safety specialist, is speaking to newly recruited oil platform technicians on a training course. Listen to the introduction to her talk and answer the following questions.

What kinds of regulation will the course deal with? What examples does the trainer give? What important point is emphasised?

7.23 Complete the following extract from Isobel's talk by underlining the correct words.

The focus of the course will be on your personal (I) legislation / obligations in terms of looking after your own safety, and the safety of others. That means we'll be focusing on specific safety regulations. For instance, we'll be looking at personal protective equipment that's (2) compulsory / prohibited. Or activities that are (3) compulsory / prohibited in certain areas, such as smoking. The majority of the obligations we'll deal with are legal (4) requirements / permits. In other words, they're (5) permitted / stipulated by law as part of health and safety (6) legislation / obligation. If you (7) contravene / comply with these kinds of regulations, it's not the same as turning up for work late, or merely breaching your contract of employment in some way. If someone fails to (8) contravene / comply with health and safety regs, they're breaking the law. It's as simple as that. I'm sure you're all aware of that, but it is an important point to emphasise.

key legal requirements the kinds of operation that must comply with regulations practices/procedures that are permitted practices/procedures that are prohibited

7. 29 Think of situations where written notices and instructions are used in industry. Pair work. Discuss the following questions.

What different kinds of information do they communicate? What are the characteristics of effective notices and instructions?

7.30 The following warning notices are from a guillotine for sheet metal and a precision weighing device in a manufacturing plant. Pair work. Discuss whether each notice warns

7.31 Look at the first word in each sign and answer the following questions.

Which word is only used to warn of a risk of injury to people?         Which word is only used to warn of a risk of damage to equipment?        

7.32 The following extracts are from the instruction manuals of three of the machines in Exercise 7.30 Pair work. Answer the questions (1-6).

In the event of a fire water extinguishers should not be used on this machine as it contains electrical circuits, and can therefore cause electrocution. Only a carbon dioxide extinguisher should be used.	1. Why is it unsafe to put water on the machine? 2. What type of fire extinguisher is recommended?
3. What is the purpose of the items marked in red on the machine? 4. What could happen if the machine was lifted by other parts of the frame?	When lifting this machine, it is essential that only the two lifting eyes marked in red should be used. No other parts of the frame are load-bearing and must not, therefore, be used as anchor points
Care should be taken when cleaning below the guillotine blade as there is a danger that the blade may descend. Before cleaning, the control lever should always be set in the Blade Locked position. Protective gloves should be worn during cleaning as the sump below the blade may contain sharp metal off-cuts.	5. Why is it important to lock the guillotine blade? 6. What other danger is there, and what precaution should be taken as a result?
