Litigator of the Week: Sink Re-Enactment Critical to Win
ACS Engineering and Safety in the news: “Markland says he called an expert witness [Edward Jensen] to the stand who used an actual sink to re-enact the amount of force it would take for a sink similar to the one in the gas station restroom to drop from the wall and injure someone.”
“Near misses and resulting inspections may help prevent an injury or even a fatality, but an investigation cannot take place if the near miss is not reported accurately. Therefore, setting up a successful safety management program to ensure near misses are reported and investigated is an important step in reducing occurrences of serious incidents.” “OSHA [...]
Balers for Urban Woody Biomass [Go to page 20] James Dooley and David Lannning The objective: “make urban woody biomass the next major recyclable!” An urban baler was designed by discussing specifications with potential users. Lab tests measured the pressure density relationships and Poisson forces that would be expected. The prototype as been successfully operated [...]
