Abstract

Metal Casting is the primary manufacturing process handled by foundrymen. Moulding, melting, Liquid metal pouring and fettling are the main jobs to perform. Generally, the temperature of the molten metal handled by the workers for nonferrous industry varies from 800-12000C and for ferrous it varies from 1600-20000C. So, safety precautions need extensive care to perform such operations for ferrous and nonferrous both type of foundry need. Few fields visit was made to understand the working conditions of the skilled and unskilled foundrymen. Severities found in terms of process and manufacturing, health hazards and accidents during the production due to negligence of safety precautions and standards taken by the competent authority and also the socioeconomic background of the workers. The authors proposed and try to implement the basic safety requirement for the foundry industry.

Keywords: Safety Precautions, Foundry, Foundrymen, Metal Casting
