Symposium Cast Shop Technology
Presentation Title Designing a Safe Casthouse
Author(s) Alex W. Lowery
On-Site Speaker (Planned) Alex W. Lowery
Abstract Scope The vast majority of casthouses built in our industry in the past decade were designed with production not safety in mind. This issue contributes to many incidents resulting in workers being injured and killed. This paper will discuss the common design mistakes that occur in casthouse design and construction. My paper will cover common hazards overlooked during casthouse design. Current design of casthouses focuses on a myriad of other goals excluding safety. I argue that only by focusing first on safety during the design of a casthouse can our industry stop these incidents from injuring and killing workers.
