explosive environments
Explosive environments are areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dust can mix with air, creating a risk of explosion. These conditions often occur in industries such as oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, and mining. Proper safety measures are essential to prevent accidents in these settings.
To ensure safety, organizations must follow guidelines and regulations, such as those set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Equipment used in explosive environments is often specially designed to minimize ignition sources, and workers receive training to recognize hazards and respond appropriately.
