Brochures of the ISSA Section Machine and System Safety

ISBN 92-843-1167-5

This brochure is intended to be a practical aid for preparation of the explosion protection document across different national regulations. National regulations may well set higher requirements.

Part 7: Explosion hazards

ISBN 92-843-0156-0

This brochure helps entrepreneurs in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to recognize hazards due to explosions at the workplace. It provides assistance in assessing the associated risks and recommendations for preventive protective measures.

Using the example of storage and processing of bulk materials(e.g. grain) with assessment of the dust explosion risk of complex systems.

ISBN 92-843-8131-9

A modular structure has been developed for the explosion safety of bulk solids systems, which makes it easier to divide the assessment for a system with regard to the explosion risk into smaller units, so-called "modules". In addition to a clear layout, this enables a targeted and process-oriented approach. In the process step “raw material reception” presented here, flammable, dust-explosive products are accepted as loose bulk material or packed. It is assumed that the bulk material does not contain flammable solvents and that there are no flammable gases and vapours to be considered in this area.

In addition to a clear layout, this enables a targeted and process-oriented approach. In the process step "storage" presented here, flammable and dust-explosive bulk materials are stored in halls, bunkers and containers. Silos made of metals, concrete, plastics or flexible fabrics are also used.

Part 1: Mills, crushers, mixers, ash separators, screeners

ISBN 978-92-843-2182-7

This compendium is intended to enable project engineers, plant managers, safety specialists and other parties involved to assess whether explosion risks are present in their own plant or in the construction, equipment and installation of plants without special knowledge in the field of explosion protection.

Part 2: Conveyors, transfers and receivers

ISBN 978-92-843-8185-2

This compendium is intended to enable project engineers, plant managers, safety specialists and other parties involved to assess whether explosion risks exist in their own plant or in the construction, equipment and installation of plants without special knowledge in the field of explosion protection.

ISBN 92-843-4135-1

This compendium is intended to enable project engineers, plant managers, safety specialists, etc. who have no special knowledge of liquefied gases to assess whether hazards may arise from liquefied gases in their own plant or when constructing, equipping and installing liquefied gas plants. It detects the problems and possible solutions for achieving the protection goals are formulated.

ISBN 92-843-1092-X

The assessment of fire and explosion hazards when handling combustible dusts and the planning and dimensioning of protective measures require knowledge of the combustion and explosion characteristics of dusts. This paper therefore briefly describes the common test equipment and test methods.
