With colder air upon us, our risks associated with static electricity around our flammable liquids and gases INCREASES. With increased risks we need to counteract this with more attention to detail in our layers of protection against flash fires. Minor oversights that we got away with in the heat of the humid summer days may be the flaws that will create the perfect storm in the winter...

We hear a lot of safety professionals talking about bonding and grounding and this safety function is by far the most common means of controlling static electricity during the transfer of flammable liquids; however, it is also very often the cause of flash fires because facilities either do not fully understand or fail to manage the systems properly (e.g. poor connections, loss of continuity due to...
