A group of four chemical engineering students from An-Najah National University visited a nylon factory to analyze its safety standards. They found the factory had no ventilation system and an electrical system designed by workers with bare wires. Machines were old and loud, and three workers had cut their fingers on machines. The group recommended installing vapor hoods, renewing the electrical system, using protective equipment, separating products and materials, and providing noise protection.

3.  We are chemical engineering students at An-Najah National
University.
 Our group consist of four students in four positions:
: Laith Arar.
: Moneer Bsharat.
: Nedal Marei.
: Mahmoud Abu ghanem.

4.  Our project is talking about the safety requirements
of nylon production .
 We have visited nylon factory “Brothers factory” then
we analyzed the situation of the factory within the
safety standards.

5.  Video shows nylon production process.

7.  There is no ventilation system at the factory , they
depend on the usual ventilation slots like doors and
windows .
 The only toxic vapor in the factory is produced by
evaporation of the polyethylene solution with little
concentration.

8.  Electrical system in the factory was designed manually by the workers
of the factory.
 there is a lot of bare wires.
 Machines buttons very good for the user .
 Most of machines are old .
 All machines are connected to electrical switch, for emergency
situations.
 There are labels on each machine and buttons.

11.  The most dangerous machine is the cutting machine .
 The falling of heavy weight nylon rolls .
 Electrical dangerous .
 The products and row materials are saved together.
 High temperature of the solution before formation of cold
nylon.
 Noise from machines.

12.  Three workers have been cut there fingers while trying to
fix a machine during work

13.  Use hood over the extruder to remove the vapor.
 Renew the electrical system “ wires, switches, old machines”
 Use protection shoes to protect feet from falling of nylon rolls.
 Use gloves to protect from high temperature.
 Use two button for the cutting machine to make the worker use his two
hands just for turning on the machine.
 Separate the products away from the raw materials , to reduce propagation
in case of fire accident .
 Use ears plugs to reduce noise from machines.
