Asphalt dust explosion

Published on 05/01/24 485 Views

During the loading of solid asphaltene into a trailer, a primary dust explosion occurred inside a loading bellow due to a faulty bonding of a bellow support cone. The primary explosion dispersed dust and set up a secondary explosion inside the loading hall.

Ask yourself and your crew:

  • How can something like this happen here (e.g. on our site)?
  • What safety measures (i.e. procedures, controls/barriers) do we have in place to mitigate the risk?
  • How do we know the risk controls/barriers are working?
  • What improvements or changes should we make to the procedures, controls/barriers or the way we work?
