There are combination eye-wash, emergency showers, and we use them in the field and in our lab. Most self-respecting safety equipment suppliers have these in stock.
One of the hazards in a chemical lab are splashes and that can be anywhere, not only in the face.
Get a two-in-one and end of...
Don't know, I did not follow the training at your company, but since there is a constant fight between the parties involved in appraisals, it is good to know the rules and use them in your own benefit, else you need to bribe you boss to get that raise you (in your opinion) deserve
Nice thread Electricpete, when it comes to vibration and inertia the best things to do is to stick with the SI system. In this age of "the computer did it", or "I got it from the Internet" it is good to see that "plain old calculation" by engineering principles still exists.
I [ponder] what...
Being caught in the transition from card reader to PC light years ago, I started to transfer fortran programs to turbo pascal, it was easier to get a hold on the fluxogram or programming logic (especially for big programs) then try to converting by translating.
Especially the massive use of goto...
Engineering Mechanics DYNAMICS, from Meriam and Kraige, Appendix B
If you want to include the bearings, use only the inner rings, don't forget the lock nuts and/or keys
If you succeed doing this by hand, compare the results with your 3D Cad, you could evaluate/quantify Electricpete's answer...
There is more in engineering than design rockets or washing machines.
Although a few people do "rocket science" there are a lot more engineers employed keeping these "rockets" in the air. I am talking about maintenance and reliability. You will find engineers in power plants, airports, ships...
Maybe I am, but when I started the first day, I also had the impression that I was thrown for the wolves, after a year things cleared up, but at that time I was able to see the bigger picture.
When you apply for your next job, this experience can be converted in cash, so I would not look at it...
Welcome to the real world, your University has the obligation to deliver professionals who can play a leading role in the Universe. They will give you the tools to work outside, help you to develop critical thinking in a certain field of engineering etc., if you will use it, that is up to you.

Is it a control valve (hydraulic, pneumatic, electric), or a simple hand/motor operated gate valve?
In case of a not human-powered valve there will be some PM, even if this is walking around every month for a visual check.
Even and-operated valves, need some grease or oil, check if there are...
I would use a portable ultrasound detector (ue systems or SDT)
1) With the ue systems ultraprobe you have a small warbletone generator (battery operated), put it in the box and scan the seals from the outside. (very fast !!!)
2) Put air pressure on the box, and scan from the outside if...
Our rule of thumb is 6 months, with no "special" storage facilities.
Since you are using it for a standby generator, I assume that you have some maintenance on the generator as well.
Run the generator once a month for eight hours to verify it is in top condition when needed.
Keep the tank full...
Crying of over an investment of $6,000 to handle the organization/spending of 240,000 a year for maybe $2,400,000 worth in equipment.....
An other program I would suggest is Mapcon is about the same price as MPulse.
SAP maybe thew most popular.... but it is also the most expensive...
