MMH Calculator Free‎

door | nov 22, 2011 | Apps

Met deze gratis versie van de MMH Calculator (Manual Material Handling) kunt u het aanbevolen maximale tilgewicht berekenen. De berekening is gebaseerd op de herziene NIOSH-methode. Deze methode wordt internationaal erkend, en wordt (in vereenvoudigde vorm) ook door de Nederlandse Arbeidsinspectie gehanteerd. De app is geschikt om te worden gebruikt in arbeidssituaties waarin tiltaken voorkomen. Na invoer van enkele kenmerken van de tilsituatie wordt het maximaal aanbevolen tilgewicht berekend, en wordt het risico van de huidige tilsituatie aangegeven. Tevens wordt inzichtelijk hoe de tiltaak verbeterd kan worden. Lees vooral ook de Infotab in de app: daarin wordt aangegeven in welke situaties de NIOSH-methode NIET mag worden gebruikt. Binnenkort wordt de Pro-versie van de MMH Calculator verwacht, waarmee meer belastende activiteiten (duwen/trekken/dragen) kunnen worden geanalyseerd.

Chemical Safety Data Sheets – ICSC‎

door | nov 20, 2011 | Apps

This application displays International Chemical Safety Cards [ICSC] produced by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the International Labour Office (ILO), and the World Health Organization (WHO). 
ICSCs summarize essential health and safety information on chemicals for their use at the “shop floor” level by workers and employers in factories, agriculture, construction and other work places.
An ICSC is very similar to an Material Safety Data Sheet [MSDS], a standard reference document from the manufacturer for chemical information and is required, for safety purposes, to be kept in any place where workers face possible exposure to those chemicals.
While an MSDS has many positives such as being very thorough and manufacturer specific, there are drawbacks : they can be very lengthy (the MSDS for water is 5 pages long), they have no standard format and may be technically very complex and too extensive for non-management use.
ICSCs, on the other hand, set out peer-reviewed information about substances in a more concise, standard and simple manner on 1 or 2 page documents that is always the same format.
Use the information in this app to augment occupational health and safety when working with the applicable chemicals as an adjunct to MSDS or when MSDS are unavailable.
For more NIOSH information, including respirator recommendations, physcial properties and hygenie information, please see our NIOSH Chemical Hazards Pocket Guide [NPG]. All information in the NPG app is viewable in a native, easily viewed format designed for the iPhone/iPodTouch.
Features:
* Fully indexed and searchable chemical list by Name, CAS# or RTECS#
* Saved history of previously viewed chemicals
* Email and Airprint** capability
* No Internet connection required
** Printing support requires iOS 4.2 or later and an airprint compatible printer or a properly setup shared network printer
