    safety against electrical hazards

    hello electrical engineers and others who work with/close to electrical hazards: how safe do you feel? are you aware of the accident statistics and are you worried about them? everyone can make a mistake at work, but when dealing with electricity, a mistake can be deadly do you think you can...

    electrical biased maintenance engineer

    hello I often read in ads the term 'electrical biased maintenance engineer' what does 'electrical biased' exactly mean? and how does a maintenance engineer become 'electrical biased'? thanks!

    office-based role

    guys, I re-read the entire post and I wasn't able to find specific career choices for an office-based engineer role apart from 'design engineer', which afaik needs more than an HNC/HND can't you suggest me any roles? from my research I think also an automation engineer won't leave the office...

    Thank you.

    hearing loss

    "In a well-run/managed factory, it'll be a really rare thing." assuming I will work in a well-run factory and again assuming most factories are well-run, why the maintenance/manufacturing engineer rarely spends time in the noisy environment of the factory? is this logical?

    hearing loss

    a factory maintenance engineer how much of his time spends it in the factory environment/noise?

    hearing loss

    how many dB does YOUR factory/plant/work place rate? also, please describe the activities of the plant and the protection you use

    hearing loss

    "Occupational noise exposure probably accounts for less than 10% of the burden of adult hearing loss in the United States; most of the rest is age-related." this is logical, since very few are exposed to serious occupational noise it doesn't actually say that you are going to lose your hearing...

    hearing loss

    while it seems logical that hearing protection should help, are there actually any research proving that they really prevent hearing loss? and in which extend? because I read a meta-analysis from Cochrane in Pubmed, where they said the evidence isn't enough and another one research that despite...

    hearing loss

    I am particularly interested for a maintenance engineering career, but I wonder if there are other options in the general engineering field, without noise hazards how much of the time of a maintenance engineer is spent on the noisy factory? or maybe most of this role involves work when the...

    hearing loss

    hello pubmed is full of articles claiming that factory workers working in noisy environments lose irreversibly their hearing hearing protection doesn't seem to help much I am extremely concerned about this and I would like to know from people in the industry, how noisy the engineering work...

    office-based role

    a maintenance engineer in a food factory, how much time he spends in the factory, exposed to the cold environment of the refrigerators and the noise of the machines? also, what does he actually do in a 12hr shift? isn't this working period exhausting?

    office-based role

    the main reasons I would like to be office-based, is that I am concerned about health effects of emissions and noise

    office-based role

    thanks for your replies but HNC (certificate) options aren't that specialized I must choose from: mechanical, process, chemical, control&instrumentation, electrical&electronics, etc should I choose for a specific one that would lead me to mostly office-based career or a general one and then...

    office-based role

    reed.co.uk is the website I research alot, as it provides info about salaries and applications posted but I can't figure out if it's an office based job or not for example C&I engineering, is it 80% office-based as I imagine? pump engineer in oil industry? maintenance engineer in food...

    office-based role

    I will invest in getting a BEng/MEng, but I need as soon as possible to secure a job, in order to gather experience, which is more important in my opinion. But I think there is a misunderstanding: I didn't mean that the first job will pay well, but the prospects with further experience and/or...

    office-based role

    hello I am looking to start an engineering career but not in a production/plant environment or in a greasy environment. Instead I am looking for a clean office based career. Is this feasible with an HNC only and no experience at all? Which such roles can you suggest me? Roles that are in...

    which path to follow

    that is something very interesting, thanks!
