Contain the risk: Increasing regulation matched by innovative responses from Rota Val mean improvements in vital areas of health and safety says Ian Blackmore

摘要

A safety warning issued in April this year by the US Chemical Safety Board found that 281 fires and explosions in the USA killed 119 workers and injured 718 others since 1995. The majority of these incidents took place in mineral processing, food, chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturing units. Two specific areas were identified: flame propagation within the conveying, processing or storage system and explosion through the disturbance of accumulated dust build-up in the surrounding external environment.
