An incident involving any number
of hazards in our plants could lead to a fire. The Aluminium Plant Safety Blog
has posted incidents involving fires from incidents involving molten metal
explosions, dust/fines, moveable equipment, etc. Here is a recent story:
During the week of July 13,
2014. Dozens of persons suffered from smoke inhalation after a fire erupted in
an aluminum plant in Egypt. Eight
ambulances rushed to the scene to offer first aid to the wounded. Twelve cases
were moved to hospital.
The Aluminium Plant Safety Blog prays
that all the injured recover fully from their physical and mental injuries.
Unfortunately, the media story
does not provide much information regarding how the fire began. Nevertheless,
this incident occurred, people were injured. The mantra of the APSB is “…. the hope that awareness of these accidents brings education
and prevention of recurrence.” The APSB debated posting this incident
because of the lack of information regarding which hazard contributed to
starting the fire. Nevertheless, we chose to post this incident. Hopefully you
will look at your plant’s hazard with a closer eye.
