The processes involved in manufacturing batteries can release particles into the air – lead dust, nickel, cobalt, aluminum and other materials that are combustible and/or toxic. Though these dusts and fumes are generally emitted near process equipment, once in the air they disperse and eventually settle on equipment, floors, walls and other surfaces.
There are many paper manufacturing processes that generate dust and scrap including trim machines, die cut presses, shredders, balers and vacuum feed conveyors. Besides being a housekeeping nuisance, this dust is combustible, which is why facilities use industrial dust collectors. Most paper dust is classified as ST1 and is around 100Kst. Here are some important points to consider that can improve
Handling and milling grain, seed and feed are occupational hazards that expose workers to many serious and life-threatening situations. Dust-related dangers include allergies, respiratory injury, fire and explosion. Especially at risk are food and agricultural facilities that process, move, store and ship products like corn, oats, wheat, barley, sunflower seeds, rice, cotton seeds and soybeans.
