  2. Engineering controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_controls

    A standard measurement, hood static pressure, provides information on airflow changes that affect hood performance. For hoods designed to prevent exposure to hazardous airborne contaminants, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists recommends the installation of a fixed hood static pressure gauge .

  3. Hierarchy of hazard controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_of_hazard_controls

    A main part of engineering controls, "enclosure and isolation," creates a physical barrier between personnel and hazards, such as using remotely controlled equipment. As an example, fume hoods can remove airborne contaminants as a means of engineered control. [5]

  4. Underwater construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_construction

    Underwater inspection of underwater structures, installations, and sites is a common diving activity, applicable to planning, installation, and maintenance phases, but the required skills are often specific to the application. Much use is made of video and still photographic evidence, and live video to allow direction of the inspection work by ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-support_system

    The life support system for the bell provides and monitors the main supply of breathing gas, and the control station monitors the deployment and communications with the divers. Primary gas supply, power and communications to the bell are through a bell umbilical, made up from a number of hoses and electrical cables twisted together and deployed ...

  8. Hyperbaric evacuation and rescue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbaric_evacuation_and...

    Saturation diving is normally done from a saturation system on a diving support vessel or an offshore platform.While under saturation, the divers cannot be decompressed quickly in response to an emergency as that would be rapidly fatal, and though unusual, emergencies requiring personnel evacuation have occurred on such platforms due to extreme weather or accidents.

  9. Marine construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_construction

    Marine construction materials subjected to coarse conditions including corrosion and temperature change. Fabrication can also be complicated by the large scale of some structures, and the need to transport them to the site for modular installation, and possible thermal differences between components and the fabrication and installation sites.
