On-demand Webinar: 7 Lessons Learnt from Recent Dust Explosions
Dust explosions are unfortunately still commonplace, and they have the potential to be extremely dangerous to staff & equipment. This webinar will cover 7 lessons that we have learnt from recent dust explosions.
We focus on the common denominators behind many of the incidents and suggest pragmatic and effective ways we can build safeguards to mitigate the risk. We will examine the role of safety culture in the workplace and how effective top-down corporate responsibility ensures adequate training and risk awareness in all staff.
We will also cover how you best can mitigate the risk of these incidents by ensuring that you have a suitable basis of safety for each process, this includes:
1. Explosion Prevention
2. Avoidance of Ignition Sources
3. Explosion Protection
What you’ll learn:
- How and why a top-down level organisational model centred upon the need to constantly improve is a pillar for process safety success
- Why going ‘back to basics’ is necessary
- Recapping a ‘basis of safety’ and understanding how best to optimise for your processes
