Controlling Cotton, Wool and Dyestuff Dust in the Textile Industry LEVCentral Expert Commentary Textile dust has long been recognised as a significant occupational health hazard. Depending on the material being processed, workers may be exposed to cotton dust, wool process …
LEVCentral Expert Commentary Explosion protection remains one of the most specialised aspects of industrial ventilation and dust extraction design. Whilst the primary objective should always be to prevent explosive atmospheres from developing, there are many applications where suitable explosion protection …
LEVCentral Expert Commentary Where combustible dusts are handled, assumptions can be dangerous. Materials that appear harmless in normal operation may possess explosion characteristics that only become apparent when dispersed as a dust cloud. This SHAPA Technical Bulletin provides an excellent …
LEVCentral Expert Commentary Nanotechnology has introduced a new generation of engineered materials with unique physical, chemical and electrical properties. As particle size is reduced into the nanometre range (typically 1–100 nm), materials can behave very differently from their conventional micron-sized …
LEVCentral Expert Commentary Powder coating is one of the most widely used industrial finishing processes, providing durable, corrosion-resistant coatings without the use of conventional solvent-based paints. However, the process introduces a unique combination of hazards, including combustible dusts, high-voltage electrostatic …
A Comprehensive Guide to Hazardous Area Classification, DSEAR and Explosion Protection LEVCentral Expert Commentary Whenever flammable gases, vapours, mists or combustible dusts are present, there is the potential for an explosive atmosphere to form. In these situations, it is …
Essential HSE Guidance on Designing and Operating Safe Wood Waste Extraction Systems LEVCentral Expert Commentary While many HSE publications focus on protecting workers from the health effects of wood dust, WIS32 – Safe Collection of Wood Waste: Prevention of …
Essential HSE Guidance on Controlling One of the UK’s Most Significant Occupational Health Hazards LEVCentral Expert Commentary If you work with wood, this is one of the most important HSE guidance documents you can read. WIS23 – Wood Dust: …
One of the Definitive Engineering References on Combustible Dust Hazards LEVCentral Expert Commentary Few subjects within occupational hygiene combine chemistry, physics, process engineering and safety engineering quite like combustible dust explosions. For engineers responsible for dust extraction systems, understanding …
The Definitive International Reference on Combustible Dust Explosion Science and Engineering LEVCentral Expert Commentary If there is one textbook that has shaped modern understanding of combustible dust explosions, it is undoubtedly Dust Explosions in the Process Industries by Professor …
