  • Combustible gases and liquids may provoke explosions if they directly touch a heat source.
  • Flammable dust quickly catches on fire if there is a spark. The flames may also rapidly spread if sufficient dust has gathered on the factory floor.
  • Plus, hot work can release molten material and sparks into the atmosphere. This is a prevalent cause for flammable liquid or combustible dust to obtain fire.
  • Electrical wiring not correctly installed can provoke a spark and develop a source of flammable liquids and combustible dust.
