How Does An Explosion Happen?

Explosions can happen in the workplace for any number of reasons including neglected security protocols, overlooked safety hazards, and outright wrongdoing. Some of the most common causes of explosions include:

  • Faulty Electrical Equipment and Wiring: Damaged plugs and loose cables are some of the most common culprits behind the start of explosions. If they aren’t replaced immediately, they could start fires and spark an explosion. An expert mush regularly check and test all electrical equipment to ensure that everything meets safety standards.
  • Overloaded Electrical Sockets: Even if the wiring and outlets are in perfect working order, overloading them with an excessive number of appliances can cause them to overheat and start a fire. Basic safety standards state that no more than 3000 watts of 13amps can be plugged into a single socket.
  • Airborne Particle Buildup: Particles can quickly build up from wood, plastic, and metalworking operations if a workspace isn’t properly ventilated. Once enough particles are airborne, it only takes a small spark to cause an entire room to go up in flames and cause a massive explosion. Factories and mining operations are especially susceptible to airborne particle buildup, but all workspaces should have extraction fans installed and maintained to prevent this from ever happening.
  • Smoking: Smoking and tobacco can cause a variety of serious health problems, but those tend to take years to develop. However, if the smoldering butts aren’t disposed of properly, they can cause the much more immediate issue of fires and explosions. Whether the cigarette was disposed of in a dangerous location or if the designated smoking area was far too close to hazardous material, it only takes a single stray ember to spark a flame.
  • Human Error: It only takes a simple negligent act to cause a terrible accident, even in the safest and best regulated workplaces. It’s next to impossible to eliminate all human error, but the worst cases can be mitigated through proper safety training.
