Dear AMMRLers,
We had a safety inspection this morning, and it was pointed out that in our
rather small open-access lab there was no warning notice about magnet
quenches. I said that this was a low probability occurrence, and it usually
happened when someone knowledgeable was fiddling about with the magnet
anyway.
We were just about to agree to put up a plain text warning to say 'get out
fast if there's a quench', when someone remarked that it was quite possible
for an enthusiastic cleaner's floor-polishing machine to get sucked into
the magnet, and then the probability of a quench was quite high... as is,
unfortunately, the probability of the cleaner being unable to read.
So, has anyone devised or designed a graphical or cartoon warning sign that
tries to say 'get out fast if there's a quench'?
Just trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel...
Alan
