Tag: Special Hazard
Special Hazards are locations where there is an increased risk of safety and structural damage. These hazards often have specific requirements that go beyond standard building codes.
NNS - Dust Hazard Analysis
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for evaluating several processes that generate explosible dust. Twelve buildings were evaluated in processes from cutting to sandblasting, to powder coating. Explosion propagation was considered, and recommendations were made to reduce the risk of dust explosions.
NNS - Foundry Exhaust
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for designing a plan to prevent sparks from an electric arc furnace igniting air filters in the exhaust system. The design included a redundant approach of passive spark cooling and active spark detection and extinguishing system.
