A systematic approach to determining the level of safety risk of foundry equipment

Abstract

Foundries are the most dangerous production facilities of machinebuilding enterprises. That is why risk assessment, aimed at identifyingpreventing and reducing the negative impact of risks in the manufacture offoundry elements, is so important. The most typical accidents for hazardousproduction facilities in foundries are accidents associated with the productionuse of liquid metal (smelting, transportation and casting of the meltexplosions caused by contact of the melt with water; explosions of closed containers filled with liquid that fell into the melt along with the charge, as well fires caused by the ignition of flammable materials upon contact.
