Mine ventilation engineers must consider the velocity of air entering and exiting a mine, study the air quality and inspect all air ducts and fans to make sure the circulation is clean. They will apply different ventilation control techniques such as dust control, explosion proof seals, permanent ventilation seals and gas drainage systems. Mine ventilation engineers must counsel employees on how to deal with heat stress, fatigue, cramps and hygiene issues related to heat, such as rashes or prickly heat. They encourage drinking water and wearing oxygen and gas masks when working in areas that contain toxic gases and plants. Additionally, they must educate and try to prevent common illnesses amongst miners... 2, record 1, English, - mine%20ventilation%20engineer

The Propellant and Pressurant Loading System(PPLS) consists of an evacuation system, tubing, valves, gauges and a weighing platform and is housed in a corrosion resistant manually mobile unit. All components that are in contact with the fluid are manufactured from hydrazine compatible materials, namely stainless steels(AISI 316 & 304L), PTFE and glass. In addition, all electrical components are certified explosion proof to comply with the required safety standards. The PPLS is designed to facilitate easy access for maintenance and operation. In addition, the unit also features a compartment for the storage of consumable items, tools, flexible hoses and sample cylinders. The moveable weighting platform permits the loading of large propellant systems up to 250 liters. 1, record 3, English, - propellant%20and%20pressurant%20loading%20system
