Abstract |
In coking plants, the commonest hazard sources are harmful gases and vapours, lack of oxygen, hot substances, corrosives, and electricity. Protective measures recommended for entry into hazardous areas (tanks, plant, pipework, pits) are: written entry permit, air analysis and ventilation, respiratory protection, use of safety harness with lifeline, use of non-sparking tools. Delivery of an entry permit should be preceded by instructions from the person responsible. Other data concern precautions in welding and grinding, which constitute a fire hazard. |
