His life would be transformed when his family left for America, but he never forgot The Shuttleworth Foundation the terrible things that happen when resources are scarce and people fight over opportunity. He began to think that the most essential type of freedom starts with an individual’s ability to use natural resources to free oneself from material constraints. Marcin thrived in the United States graduating with honors from Princeton University and earning his Ph.D. in fusion physics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Yet, he felt increasingly useless, as his studies were distancing him further from solving pressing world issues. So, Marcin started a farm in rural Missouri. He learned about the economics of farming. He bought a tractor — then it broke. He paid to get it repaired — then it broke again. Then, soon enough, he was broke too. He realized that the truly appropriate, low-cost tools that he needed to build a sustainable farm and settlement just didn’t exist yet.

  • IRONWORKERS Name: Equipment/Task 4 Hazard Class: Classification-Matrix Shop Name
    Yale Environmental Health & Safety Equipment/Task IRONWORKERS Name: Equipment/Task 4 Hazard Class: http://ehs.yale.edu/forms-tools/tool- classification-matrix Shop Name: Shop Hazard Class: Purpose An ironworker can be used for punching, shearing, notching, bending and other metal fabrication functions. Ironworkers at Yale operate by applying hydraulic force to a moving center that moves within a frame in a simple, vertical path. It exerts force through shear blades, notcher, punch and die, or other tooling upon mild steel. Vertical travel of the moving center allows the operator to perform multiple operations without removing any adjacent tooling. Hazards As with all shop tools there are many potential hazards associated with their use and exposure. Iron workers are Class 5 tools (http://ehs.yale.edu/forms-tools/tool-classification-matrix). There are a number of particular hazards associated with the operation and use of iron workers. Crushing and Shear Points – Severe crushing injuries or amputations can occur if an operator makes contact with any of the pinch or shear points this machine provides. • Guard all pinch and shear points with fixed or adjustable guarding. Guards should be adjusted down to within 1⁄4-inch from the top of the material to the bottom of the guard (or stripper when punching). More modern machines are equipped with adjustable restrictors that surround the material in-feed areas and should allow just enough clearance for the material to enter. • Beware of machines with automatic urethane hold-downs. These hold-downs, if not adjusted properly, also come down with many tons of force and can be hazardous pinch points.
