Expired flare improperly discarded Marine Safety Forum - Safety Flash 14-32

摘要

A discarded marine flare ignited on the picking line at a depot where ship's garbage is sorted. Fortunately there was no injury to personnel but some damage was done to the conveyor belt. Flares and other special wastes should not be disposed of within the waste receptacles provided by the port for the use of ships. Disposal of expired ship's flares or any marine pyrotechnic should only be arranged through an approved provider for such services.
