LIGHTING IN EXPLOSIVE WORK ENVIRONMENTS: IS DISASTER AN ON/OFF SWITCH AWAY?
Start Date: On Demand through June 6, 2017
Duration:60 minutes
Any flashlight that is intended to be used in a hazardous location must be tested and certified for that use because it is considered a source of ignition. Flashlights create heat using electrical energy, have an illumination source that can produce high temperatures, and produce a spark when they are switched on. Add air and a hazardous atmosphere, and a fire or explosion could result.
Manufacturers of flashlights intended for use in hazardous environments must take special precautions in the design of their products to reduce the likelihood of a hazardous substance ignition taking place. Their flashlights must also pass a series of rigorous tests, conducted by recognized safety certification organizations, before being certified for use in potentially hazardous environments.
