Flammable Liquid (and COM DUST) piping “flange jumpers”
In processes handling flammable liquids, “flange jumpers” (also known as “bonding jumpers”) are critical safety components designed to maintain electrical continuity across piping joints. Since piping systems are often coated, gasketed, or subject to corrosion, a standard flanged connection may not provide a sufficiently low-resistance path to ground.
Security video of Methanol Railcar Unloading explosion
Fire marshals consider the fire an accident so far, and say the explosion rocked the plant, as crews unloaded methanol from a rail car into a tank.

Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD) fuel and Static Electricty
Does your facility use Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD) fuel? Are you using the same diesel tank for the ULDS fuel as you were with the diesel fuel from the old days? Should you be? Do you have a fuel storage tank that is “switch loaded” with gasoline and ULSD? Well, the debate rages on

While we work to implement the new HAZCOM standard, changes to 1910.106 and 1910.119 may have went unoticed
Changes to 1910.106 These changes are not very subtle and in fact I have to take my hat off to OSHA and the NPRM process for working this out. As many of us know, the new HAZCOM standard was a significant change; so significant that it impacted several other OSHA standards in both general industry
