Workers operating in high-risk industries, such as oil and natural gas and chemical, encounter environments rich with hazardous gases that may be unseen or unfamiliar, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
The issue of combustible dust and its associated hazards (fire, deflagration, explosion) has always existed in several industries in one form or another.
Whether dust collectors are used in your plant to ensure good indoor air quality (IAQ) for workers, keep equipment clean and/or recover high-value process dusts, you might want to consider recirculating the air back into the plant downstream of the collector(s).
Industrial facilities are inherently dangerous places. In fact, according to the National Safety Council, workplace injuries account for nearly $190 billion in losses annually.
Posture is the way you hold your body while standing, sitting, or performing tasks like lifting, bending, pulling, or reaching. If your posture is good, the bones of the spine — the vertebrae — are correctly aligned.
