The basic types of engineering controls are: Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard"physically"away from the worker and ventilation that strategically"adds"and"removes"air in the work environment.Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly.The design of a ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use. Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure. General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions.If risk of overexposure exists,wear SAA approved respirator.Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying"escape"velocities which,in turn,determine the"capture velocities"of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant. Type of Contaminant: Air Speed: solvent,vapours,degreasing etc.,evaporating from tank(in still air) 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min) Appropriate engineering aerosols,fumes from pouring operations,intermittent container filling,low speed conveyer 0.5-1 m/s controls transfers,welding,spray drift,plating acid fumes,pickling(released at low velocity into zone of active generation) (100-200 f/min.) direct spray,spray painting in shallow booths,drum filling,conveyer loading,crusher dusts,gas 1-2.5 m/s discharge(active generation into zone of rapid air motion) (200-500 f/min) grinding,abrasive blasting,tumbling,high speed wheel generated dusts(released at high initial 2.5-10 m/s velocity into zone of very high rapid air motion). (500-2000 f/min.) Within each range the appropriate value depends on: Lower end of the range Upper end of the range 1:Room air currents minimal or favourable to capture 1:Disturbing room air currents 2:Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only 2:Contaminants of high toxicity 3:Intermittent,low production. 3:High production,heavy use 4:Large hood or large air mass in motion 4:Small hood-local control only Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe.
