Lockout and tagging ensures that hazardous energy sources are under the control of each worker. Serious or fatal accidents can occur when people assume that machinery is turned off or made harmless but it isn’t. Lockout is a procedure that prevents the release of hazardous energy. It often involves workers using a padlock to keep a switch in the "off" position, or to isolate the energy of moving parts. This prevents electric shock, sudden movement of components, chemical combustion, falling counterweights, and other actions that can endanger lives. Lockout is a physical way to ensure that the energy source is de-energized, deactivated, or otherwise inoperable. 2, record 10, English, - lock%2Dout

Le cadenassage et l'étiquetage permettent à chaque ouvrier d'intervenir sur les sources d'énergie dangereuse. De graves accidents, qui peuvent être mortels, découlent parfois du fait que quelqu'un tienne pour acquis que la machinerie n'est pas en marche ou en état de provoquer des blessures, alors que ce n'est pas le cas. Le cadenassage consiste à prévenir la libération d'une énergie dangereuse. Pour ce faire, il faut souvent que les ouvriers maintiennent un interrupteur en position «OFF (ARRÊT)» au moyen d'un cadenas, ou isolent l'énergie des pièces en mouvement. Ces ouvriers préviennent ainsi le risque de choc électrique, de déplacement subit de pièces, de combustion chimique, de chute de contrepoids et d'autres situations qui peuvent mettre la vie en danger. Le cadenassage est une intervention mécanique permettant de neutraliser une source d'énergie en la désactivant, en la mettant hors tension ou par tout autre moyen. 3, record 10, French, - verrouillage

Staging :-Stage O : cancer in situ.-Stage I : invasive cancer : small primary tumor without adenopathy or metastase. Stage I corresponds to local spread.-Stage II : more extensive local spread with limited lymph node invasion. Stage II corresponds to regional lymphatic spread.-Stage III : tumor extending beyond the organ involved and/or associated with major adenopathy.-Stage IV :inoperable tumor because it has spread too extensively, with or without detectable locoregional adenopathy or metastases. Stages III and IV are metastatic stages. 1, record 14, English, - stage

An ingenious experiment offers hope for a new kind of surgery for cancer. Kenneth Culver(National Cancer Institute-USA spliced a snippet of DNA from a herpes virus into one of these retroviruses and injected the combination into rats suffering from brain cancer. Since cancer cells are about the only cells that are dividing in a cancer-infected brain, the viruses were supposed to invade those cells and multiply. After five days, the rats were treated with an antiherpes drug. The hope was that the toxin would kill herpes-infected cancer cells and leave the rest of the brain alone. In 11 of the 14 rats, the tumors disappeared completely. The results were so promising that an NIH watchdog committee has already approved a similar test on humans. The risks are high. The researchers will, in effect, be putting mouse genes directly into human brains. But the payoff could be great. Cancer Institute researchers are now searching for other inoperable cancers that might succumb to what they are calling molecular surgery. 1, record 15, English, - molecular%20surgery
