Abstract:
Foundry work is the process of producing metal castings by melting the metal into a liquid state then pouring the metal into a mould which contains a hollow cavity of desired shape. A pattern is used to make the mould of the required article. Sometimes, the core inside the mould determines the internal cavity’s dimension. Foundries are of two types. Ferrous foundries produce steel and iron castings. Non ferrous foundries produce copper based alloys casting, aluminium-based alloys casting and other alloys. Foundry industry is considered to be a high risk area since it contains the hazardous operations. Assessing the risk and controlling the risk according to the aspects of occupational health and safety is very hard in foundry. The motive of this project is identifying the hazard and risk associated with the various steps involved in each process and taking all the possible measure to control the risk.
