OK ; seems we have glasses & water sorted ; what's your folks opinion on (mainly afternoon shifts) those hard working individuals plugged with both ears, still hearing the rap 10 yards from them . You can blast a cap right next, wouldn't hear a thing . Incling to outlaw it , am i a brute ? Do you have any safety procedures addressing this ? (is there any stipulation on driving while plugged?) thanks a lot paul PS no water here , mainly due open live tests, and general breweries preference -----Original Message----- From: Kenny Bloomquist [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Saturday, 26 February 2000 2:41 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Drinking Water As long as Steve has brought up the touchy subject of safety glasses I thought I'd throw in the touchy question of drinking water on the line. We work to J-STD-001 and flow that down to our subcontractors. We have a subcontractor that has always allowed their operators to have a jug of water at their bench. The containers they use are ESD safe and have a straw out the top so they don't have to touch the top of the container where they drink (unlike a sports bottle with a pop up top) . Two questions, what is the problem with this approach and when the spec refers to "drinking" does it mean water and why? (woops I guess that's three questions) Thanks, Ken Bloomquist Sr. Principal Process Engineer PRIMEX Aerospace Company P.O.
