Explosion risk

Explosion risk refers to the potential for a sudden, violent release of energy caused by a rapid combustion or chemical reaction, which can produce a blast, heat, and pressure. This often occurs when flammable gases, vapors, or dusts mix with oxygen in confined spaces and are ignited. Factors contributing to explosion risk include the presence of flammable materials, inadequate ventilation, static electricity, and ignition sources. Managing this risk involves controlling the environment, removing or limiting flammable substances, and implementing safety protocols to prevent ignition. Understanding and mitigating explosion risk is essential to protect workers and property in industrial settings.
