Fungi could be the next frontier in fire safety

Australia is no stranger to fire-related disasters. The country experiences more than 17,000 residential fires each year. Each winter brings an increase in potential fire hazards due to the use of heaters and candles. Couple this with our already fire-prone vegetation, and a generally hot and dry climate, and you can see why there's an urgent need to develop effective and sustainable fireproofing methods. This is what inspired our research team to create fireproofing materials made from edible fungi. These materials can withstand flames to protect the integrity of a building's structure (and any occupants). Our work presents an exciting opportunity for an industry that has spent too long using materials that are harmful to human health and the environment.

Could you go into the meaning behind the aesthetics? I'm intrigued but I'm uncertain if I'm fully grasping everything I want too!

Character by character? Sure. Clockwise from the top left: young anglos only I will have to do the others another time

Alfred: Clockwise from the top left: chalkboard to represent his math and science oriented brain from early days especially as he predates calculus in multiple handwritings to show the collaboration of science. Lady liberty emerging from the fog, his ideals looming over him. The microscope is a sign of innovation. The moon is his hops and ambitions ever upward. The car both the american auto industry and the innate loneliness of it. The national bird, the eagle in flight, the ferocity and aim he often has for his goals. the horseshoes for the old west but also the odd nostalgia Alfred has for things that never were. Then the star, rusting on a warship. theoretical end of empire but never the end of american airpower. And finally his portrait is his spacesuit. The only one without hair/visible human features because no country has ever projected such a strong image around the world and it obscures him.

Matt: Whittling with a small knife because he's got anxiety and a lot of woods. a looming moose for the darker force and mystery of nature and his own personality. Pancakes because he's a domestic fuck when permitted. a hatchet. Lots of wood an also war crimes. his tools are often weapons too. Maple tapping. A reliance on the natural resources at his disposal that shaped his culture tightly. man's outline in front of a fire is for Matt's propensity for salt and burning and personally annihilating obstacles when properly motivated. sunrise through a frosted window. Spring and hope rising over winter and despair. A repeating rifle. He too, is the result the arms of empire. And finally his 'portrait' a young man facedown in the sheets, lots of curls. This one is popular for Matt aesthetics for the hair but he's a tired, depressive bastard who tends to linger in safety rather than push himself for better.

Jack: a selection of fossils. The happiest part of his childhood was in natural history but these very collections are soaked in empire. A kangaroo and joey. His fauna but also his instincts of aggression about his environment and sometimes his sister. Meat pies because they're popular but also, born a penal colony he lacked a lot of agency over his own food and being as fast growing as he was he's a chronic snacker. map of Australia. could be self explanatory but even all the way down there he's pretty concerned about his place in the world and tends to look at himself at globes when he sees one. Two horses. Man and his country love to race but also I picked two because he really is not a person who prefers to be alone for long periods of time, as misanthropic as he can be. Surfboards: he loves his water-sports but the sunny, 'no-worries, mate' attitude too. Coffee on books. He's always been very keen to prove his wine, coffee, cuisine and tastes can stand up to the snobs and a flat white was an Australian invention. Golden wattle is the national flower and symbolizes resilience, often appearing first after fires and floods. And finally the portrait. A young man with a collar pulled up and one hand on the back of his neck, pondering his future? being a bit sheepish? both suit him.

Zee: Two sheep gently headbutting each other. Sheep and a stubborn affection is something she shares with Jack even if it probably influenced her culture more. Books because she's the best educated of her generation for a long time but the titles for birds, fairytales and oxford classic texts are for her famous birds, her two sets of folklore and culture and her oxford education. Kiwi box on bike handlebars. Bicycles were a massive part of early feminism and her own independence. The box and kiwi silhouette see something she probably knocked together herself. She's handly like that. Silver ferns are a national symbol and very hard to kill, resilient and the shape is very elegant and invokes Māori art and resistance. A grumpy looking Kea. This image looks very cranky but they're the goofiest and probably smartest birds on the face of the earth. Map of new zealand on a globe. Her name is bigger than she is on the map because its somewhat imposed on her nd there's also her brother always in the corner. A canoe or boat to symbolize her maritime culture, but also her own ability to build and engineer and pilot one. Her portrait I chose a woman with her hair type elegantly put up and looking away, back to a wall, a hint of a smile on her face because she has her strict lines and a slog of struggles but also a pretty decent place in the world.

hi, i'm a live events tech. i work with a lot of equipment which uses these batteries, and they are NO FUCKING JOKE.

here in australia, just last year, an AV company in melbourne almost lost their warehouse to a fire. it was caused by lithium-ion batteries, exactly like what's described here, being overcharged past their limit.

https://www.cxnetwork.com.au/the-resolution-x-fire-an-urgent-wake-up-call/

https://resolutionx.com.au/fire-battery-safety/

the fire was hot enough to melt steel, causing truss beams suspended several metres in the air to melt and drop the light fixtures they were holding, worsening the fire. it was hot enough to melt steel, which melts at 1,300°C/2,500°F.

your phone or laptop doesn't have batteries with a high enough capacity to do this from overcharging, and it has protections against it. however, our industry has seen the damage these things can do, and it is why i am an unbelievable hardass about battery fixtures not being left alone while charging, ever. don't fuck with li-ion batteries.

Toy Flammability Testing for Export Markets: Why It’s Necessary

The toy industry is a global market, with products being traded across borders to meet the diverse demands of consumers around the world. However, with this extensive international trade comes the responsibility to ensure that toys are safe and meet the regulatory standards of each country. One of the most important aspects of toy safety is flammability testing. This testing is critical for ensuring that toys do not pose a fire hazard to children, especially given the wide range of materials used in toy manufacturing. For manufacturers aiming to export toys to different regions, understanding the importance of toy flammability testing is essential for compliance and success in international markets.

In this blog, we will explore why toy flammability testing is necessary for export markets, how it helps manufacturers meet regulatory requirements, and how it benefits the safety of children worldwide.

Understanding Toy Flammability Testing

Toy flammability testing refers to the process of evaluating the materials used in the construction of toys to determine their reaction to fire. The goal is to assess how easily a toy catches fire and how quickly it burns when exposed to heat or flames. The materials used in toys, such as plastics, fabrics, foam, and rubber, can vary widely in terms of their flammability. This means that flammability testing is crucial to ensure that toys meet specific fire safety standards and are not a danger to children.

When conducting flammability tests, manufacturers typically focus on key factors such as:

Ignition time: How quickly the material ignites when exposed to a flame.

Burn rate: How fast the material burns once ignited.

Flame spread: The distance the fire spreads across the material.

Toxicity of fumes: Whether the material emits harmful fumes when burned.

Flammability testing ensures that toys are designed and manufactured with fire-resistant materials that reduce the risk of fire hazards.

The Necessity of Toy Flammability Testing for Export Markets

The global toy market is highly regulated, with different countries and regions having their own set of safety standards and regulations. For toy manufacturers seeking to export their products, compliance with these regulations is a must. Toy flammability testing plays a significant role in ensuring that toys are safe for children and meet the fire safety requirements set by regulatory bodies in various countries.

1. Meeting International Safety Standards

Each country has its own set of regulations when it comes to toy safety. For instance:

In the United States, toys must comply with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regulations, including the ASTM F963 standard, which outlines the requirements for flammability.

In the European Union, the EN71 standard governs toy safety, and part of this includes strict flammability testing for toys sold in EU markets.

In Canada, the Consumer Product Safety Act requires that toys meet specific flammability standards before being sold to the public.

In Australia, toys must adhere to the AS/NZS ISO 8124 standard, which includes flammability requirements.

These regulations are put in place to ensure that toys sold in these countries are safe for children and reduce the risk of fire-related accidents. For manufacturers looking to sell their toys in international markets, passing flammability testing is essential for compliance with these regulations.

Without passing the necessary flammability tests, toys may be barred from entering certain export markets. Failure to comply with fire safety regulations can lead to significant financial losses, delays, and damage to a brand’s reputation. Therefore, toy flammability testing is not just an important step in manufacturing; it’s a crucial requirement for ensuring that toys can be legally sold in different countries.

2. Ensuring Consumer Safety Across Borders

For toy manufacturers, ensuring the safety of their products is of paramount importance, especially when it comes to fire risks. Toy flammability testing helps to ensure that the materials used in toys are safe and do not pose a hazard when exposed to heat or flame. When toys are exported, they are being introduced to new markets where safety standards may differ, but the goal remains the same—protecting children from fire hazards.

For example, a toy sold in the U.S. that meets the CPSC flammability standards might not automatically meet the EU’s EN71 standards. In this case, the toy would need to undergo additional flammability testing to meet the required safety levels for each market. This ensures that toys are safe for children across the globe, preventing incidents that could harm young users.

Additionally, flammability testing for toys helps manufacturers ensure that their products do not contain any toxic substances that may be emitted when exposed to fire. Certain materials, such as plastics or foam, can release harmful fumes when burned, posing a risk not only to children but also to consumers and families.

3. Building Consumer Trust and Brand Reputation

In the competitive global toy market, consumer trust is critical to the success of any brand. Parents want to ensure that the toys they buy for their children are not only fun but also safe. By investing in flammability testing and ensuring compliance with local and international safety standards, manufacturers can build consumer confidence in their products.

When manufacturers test their toys for flammability and display the necessary certifications, it signals to consumers that their products meet the highest safety standards. This not only helps manufacturers maintain a positive reputation but also gives them a competitive edge in international markets. Brands that prioritize safety, including flammability testing, are more likely to build trust with consumers, leading to higher sales and brand loyalty.

On the other hand, failing to meet flammability standards can result in negative publicity, product recalls, and a tarnished reputation. In the worst case, toys that do not pass fire safety tests may cause accidents, which can lead to lawsuits, fines, and significant harm to a brand’s image.

4. Avoiding Legal Liabilities and Financial Losses

For toy manufacturers, non-compliance with flammability testing regulations can result in severe consequences, both legally and financially. If a toy does not pass flammability tests in a given export market, it may be banned from sale, and the manufacturer could face legal liabilities, including fines and penalties. In some cases, toys that do not meet flammability standards may be subject to costly product recalls.

Recalls are particularly damaging to a brand’s reputation and can lead to significant financial losses. The cost of removing defective products from shelves, compensating retailers, and dealing with legal actions can be devastating for a company, particularly for smaller manufacturers.

5. Facilitating Smooth Customs Clearance

International trade often involves navigating complex customs procedures, which can include ensuring that products meet local regulations before they are allowed to enter a country. Toy flammability testing provides manufacturers with the necessary certification and documentation required by customs authorities to ensure that their products comply with fire safety standards.

Without passing flammability testing, toys may face delays in customs or be rejected entirely, disrupting the supply chain and leading to potential financial losses. Compliance with fire safety regulations ensures smoother customs clearance and more efficient international trade processes.

Conclusion

In today’s globalized world, toy flammability testing is not just a safety measure; it is a crucial aspect of ensuring that toys meet the regulatory requirements of various countries and regions. For manufacturers aiming to export their toys, conducting flammability testing is necessary to comply with local and international fire safety standards, avoid legal liabilities, protect children from fire hazards, and build consumer trust.

By investing in flammability testing and ensuring that their products are safe for children, manufacturers can successfully navigate international markets, expand their global presence, and reduce the risks associated with selling unsafe products. Flammability testing is an essential step for any toy manufacturer looking to succeed in export markets while keeping children’s safety at the forefront.

There is something else worth pointing out about Tesla cars actually. When the first Tesla Model S cars were rolling off the line in the early 2010s, their crash safety was actually a massive selling point.

See, one of the tricks with Tesla's electric car designs is that the entire drivetrain -- the battery, the motors, and all the other mechanical stuff that makes the car go -- fits within the profile of the wheels. They have one big flat battery that sits at the bottom of the car and the electric motors sit parallel to the wheels. This means that all Teslas have a "frunk", or "front trunk", underneath the bonnet, where the engine of a petrol car normally sits. But this also means that the original Model S had an absolutely gigantic, mostly empty crumple zone in between the nose and the front seats. The original Model S was getting record scores on frontal crash safety tests, because it had an amazing crumple zone.

Now, there have been a few things which have put pretty serious dents in this reputation for safety! I'm pretty sure that the first problem came up when Tesla started putting dual motors into their electric cars. The original Model S was rear-wheel drive, with a single electric motor that fit within the profile of the rear wheels, but later "performance" models added a second electric motor to drive the front wheels. It's now almost impossible to buy a new Tesla that doesn't have one motor at the front and one at the back -- it's standard on newer Model S, all Model X, and the Cybertruck. I don't think this had a huge impact on their frontal crash safety, but it could potentially compromise the crumple zone in a badly designed car (like the Cybertruck).

For another thing, Tesla cars do seem to catch fire a lot. When they were new, this was being excused with "they still don't catch fire as often as petrol cars" or "mass marked electric cars are new technology so we aren't sure what the fire rates are like", and those excuses were acceptable because they seemed to be true based on the data we had at the time. But now that other electric vehicles are entering the mass market, and the fire safety of petrol cars is still being gradually improved, it actually turns out that no, Tesla cars really do catch on fire more often than basically any other modern car.

And the third thing is that I think Elon Musk has started believing his own hype, and that he's mistaken his own personal aesthetics, and personal paranoia, for mass market consumer demand. The lead designer at Tesla is Franz von Holzhausen, an auto industry design veteran who had worked for Volkswagen, GM and Mazda. It's pretty easy to look through von Holzhausen's design portfolio for those other manufacturers and see a lot of the same design language as the Model S: large, tightly-fit, far-spaced wheels, low suspension, a long bonnet, and a slightly bulbous, overhanging nose seem to be his design trademarks. The Cybertruck, on the other hand, seems to bear almost zero resemblance to a von Holzhausen design. It seems to bear a very close resemblance to an "Elon Musk drew a wedge on a napkin and insisted that the car be this exact shape" design.

And let's not also forget that Elon Musk is a sad, useless, paranoid, racist sack of a man! His vehicular tech from Tesla and his tunneling tech from The Boring Company would be astonishingly useful for public transport, but he'd much prefer to build a useless tunnel for private cars, because he's terrified of poor people. He probably ordered that the Cybertruck be "invincible" because he's more afraid of "what if that homeless person has a gun" than he is of "what if this giant car runs over one of my two dozen children". He genuinely seems to have forgotten that the crash safety of the early Model S cars was one of their biggest selling points.

I'm very much looking forward to the reports from when Tesla tries to get the Cybertruck approved for sale in the EU, Australia, or Japan -- countries that actually have strict car safety and registration requirements -- to see just how badly it fails when subjected to properly rigorous testing. I'm also very much looking forward to twenty years from now when von Holzhausen's NDA expires and he writes a tell-all book about how Elon fucked up the Cybertruck.

What You Need to Know About White Card Training for Construction Safety

Construction work is one of the most demanding yet rewarding professions. However, it comes with inherent risks that make safety a top priority. In Australia, anyone who wishes to work on a construction site must first complete a White Card training course. This requirement is not merely a formality; it is a critical step toward ensuring that workers are equipped with the knowledge and skills to identify and mitigate risks on-site. In this blog, we will delve into everything you need to know about White Card training, from its importance to the process of obtaining one.

What is a White Card?

A White Card is an official certification that demonstrates a worker’s understanding of construction site safety practices. Officially known as the General Construction Induction Card, the White Card is issued upon successful completion of a training course approved by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). This card is mandatory for anyone intending to work in the construction industry, regardless of their specific role or level of experience.

Why is White Card Training Important?

The construction industry is inherently hasardous, with workers often exposed to risks such as falling from heights, heavy machinery accidents, and exposure to harmful substances. The White Card training course equips workers with essential safety knowledge, including:

Identifying Hasards: Recognising potential safety threats before they become accidents.

Understanding Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations: Ensuring compliance with Australian safety laws and guidelines.

Emergency Procedures: Knowing what to do in case of fire, injury, or other emergencies.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Learning the proper use and maintenance of safety gear.

By mandating White Card training, the construction industry aims to reduce workplace accidents and fatalities, creating a safer environment for all.

Who Needs a White Card?

If you plan to work on a construction site in Australia, you need a White Card. This includes:

Labourers

Site managers

Supervisors

Surveyors

Tradespeople

Apprentices and trainees

Even people visiting construction sites for purposes other than direct work, such as project inspections, may require a White Card depending on the site’s policies.

How to Obtain a White Card

Obtaining a White Card involves completing a General Construction Induction Training course through an accredited RTO. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Find an Accredited RTO: Look for a training provider approved to offer the White Card course. Make sure the provider is recognised by the relevant state or territory authority.

Enroll in the Course: Register for the course, which is typically delivered in person or online. Ensure you have the necessary identification documents for registration.

Complete the Training: The course covers topics such as:

WHS legislative requirements

Risk management principles

Communication and reporting procedures

Safe work practices

Assessment: You will need to pass an assessment, which may include quisses, practical tasks, and verbal questions, to demonstrate your understanding of the material.

Receive Your White Card: Upon successful completion, the RTO will issue your White Card, either physically or digitally, depending on the provider.

Duration and Validity

The White Card training typically takes 4 to 6 hours to complete, though this can vary depending on the delivery method. Once issued, the White Card does not expire as long as you continue working in the construction industry. However, if you have been out of the industry for an extended period (e.g., two years or more), you may be required to retake the course to refresh your knowledge.

Online vs. In-Person Training

White Card training can be completed either online or in person. Each method has its pros and cons:

Online Training: Offers flexibility and convenience, allowing you to complete the course at your own pace. However, not all states and territories in Australia accept online White Card training, so it’s essential to check local regulations.

In-Person Training: Provides hands-on experience and immediate interaction with trainers. It is widely accepted across all states and territories.

Cost of White Card Training

The cost of White Card training varies depending on the provider and delivery method, typically ranging from $40 to $150. While this may seem like an added expense, it is a small investment in your safety and career opportunities.

Recognising a Valid White Card

A genuine White Card will include the following information:

Your full name

Card number

Date of issue

Name of the issuing RTO

State or territory of issue

It’s crucial to ensure your White Card is issued by an accredited RTO to avoid complications when applying for construction jobs.

What Happens If You Lose Your White Card?

If you lose your White Card, you should contact the issuing RTO to request a replacement. Some states also allow you to apply for a replacement through their WHS regulatory authority. It’s a good idea to keep a digital copy or record of your White Card details for easy reference.

White Card Training: Beyond the Basics

While the White Card training course provides foundational safety knowledge, it’s just the beginning. Construction workers are encouraged to pursue additional training and certifications to enhance their skills and safety awareness. For example:

First Aid Training: Essential for responding to on-site medical emergencies.

High-Risk Work Licenses: Required for tasks involving cranes, forklifts, scaffolding, and other specialised equipment.

Safety Leadership Programs: Beneficial for supervisors and site managers aiming to lead by example.

Conclusion

White Card training is more than a legal requirement; it’s a commitment to fostering a culture of safety in the construction industry. By equipping workers with the knowledge to identify and mitigate risks, the White Card program plays a vital role in reducing workplace accidents and fatalities. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a newcomer to the industry, obtaining a White Card is the first step toward a safer and more successful construction career.

Investing time and effort into this training not only ensures compliance with legal standards but also demonstrates your dedication to maintaining a safe working environment. So, if you’re planning to step onto a construction site, make sure you’re armed with your White Card and the critical safety knowledge it represents.
