Description
In the US, UK and Europe there is in excess of one notifiable dust or electrostatic explosion every day of the year. This clearly makes
the hazards associated with the handling of materials subject to either cause or react to electrostatic discharge of vital importance
to anyone associated with their handling or industrial bulk use. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the dangers of static electricity
and how to avoid them. It will prove invaluable to safety managers and professionals, as well as all personnel involved in the activities
concerned, in the chemical, agricultural, pharmaceutical and petrochemical process industries.
The book makes extended use of case
studies to illustrate the principles being expounded, thereby making it far more open, accessible and attractive to the practitioner
in industry than the highly theoretical texts which are also available.
The authors have many years' experience in the area behind
them, including the professional teaching of the content provided here. Gunter Luttgens is a widely acknowledged consultant who travels
Europe providing training to major industrial corporations on this subject, whilst Norman Wilson practices what is written here in his
professional capacity with the British Textile Technology Group.
Audience
Engineers and Safety Professionals in the Chemical, Agricultural, Pharmaceutical and Petrochemical Process Industries. Training courses offered in related areas.
