STEEL INDUSTRY

Steel and metal powder factories are classified as explosive and hazardous zones due to the risks posed by metal dust and fine particles. When these powders become airborne, they can create combustible dust clouds. If these clouds encounter an ignition source, such as a spark or hot surface, they can trigger explosions. The resulting energy can be significant, posing serious dangers to workers and facilities. Additionally, the presence of flammable gases or vapors, along with high temperatures and mechanical processes, increases the risk. As a result, stringent safety protocols, including proper ventilation, dust control measures, and regular maintenance, are crucial to mitigate these hazards and ensure a safe working environment in such factories.
