grabowski 917a3eb933 Plan the overhead crane, maintenance workshop and visitor corridor
New docs/crane-workshop-tours.md: a 5 t single-girder EOT crane over the
whole production compartment (stops at the warehouse fire wall), a
machine door and crane-served workshop/machine bay at the ramp end, and
a glazed ground-level visitor corridor along the car-park elevation with
stations in process order, its own air and acoustic glazing so tours
need no PPE. Covers what each changes in the shell (crane-ready frame,
hook height under the 7.0 m eave, no full-height cross walls in the
crane zone, room lids and crane hatches), safety, costs and open
decisions.

Propagated: construction RFQ (crane-ready frame, new section 1c, machine
door, accessible 1:12 entrance now required), scale zone table (+210 to
280 m2, total ~1,400 to 2,000 m2), facility security, worker safety,
roadmap items 9 and 15, total investment added-scope table, README.

# Worker Safety
Worker safety is a founding priority, on equal footing with the environmental
commitments:
- **Safety training**: proper, structured training for all operators and
maintenance staff, starting with the vendor-led commissioning training and
extending into an ongoing in-house program. The pressing line combines
hydraulics (~180 bar), saturated steam (10 bar / 180 °C), and hot PVC, and
every one of these demands trained, deliberate handling.
- **Clean rooms for galvanics**: silvering and stamper electroforming will
run in dedicated clean rooms with controlled access, proper ventilation and
exhaust, and decontamination procedures for people and equipment leaving
the area. Plating chemistry stays inside its containment.
- **Personal protective equipment**: appropriate PPE (overalls, gloves,
goggles, and process-specific protection) is mandatory per work area, in
line with the equipment vendor's site requirements (exhaust work benches,
fire protection) and local regulations.
- **Lifting and machine service**: the overhead crane needs trained
operators and slingers, a lift plan for every machine move, and the
periodic engineer inspections Thai law sets for cranes. A machine is
only disconnected and lifted after lockout: electrical isolation, steam
vented, hydraulics depressurised including the accumulator. Welding and
grinding stay in the workshop's hot-work corner under a permit. Detail
in [crane, workshop and tours](crane-workshop-tours.md).
- **Visitors** never share the floor's hazards: tours run in a glazed
corridor with its own air and no PPE requirement.
Safety infrastructure (training program, clean-room specification,
decontamination workflow) will be planned alongside the equipment, not after
it.
