Sector: Hazardous Industries

IOSH's Hazardous Industries Group commissioned the event alongside the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) to explain the rationale behind the strict systems governing the sector.Making use of HSL’s extensive large-scale testing facilities, demonstrations included a dust cloud explosion, drum bursting, pool fires and hydraulic fluid fires. The event, called ‘Hazardous industries with a bang – an introduction to process hazards’, was hosted by HSL, which is part of the Health and Safety Executive, on Wednesday 9 November.
