I have a question
Thread Content
Dear colleagues in safety engineering: Should the crane located above the ethylene oxide refrigeration unit be explosion-proof? Are there any regulatory requirements regarding this? Thank you to all of you for your help.
It’s not clear whether there are any regulations； But based on work experience, it is not necessary: explosion-proof cranes have never been heard of ； But in real-world work, many companies’ explosion-proof areas may require vehicles to enter ； For example, fire trucks and some bulk transport vehicles do not require explosion-proof features; ambulances that need to enter the site in emergency situations are also not explosion-proof. Generally, it is sufficient for vehicles to be equipped with fire shields, and the engines should be turned off during operations
Hello, welcome to the secure version of this forum. I have a suggestion: in the future, try to include a title for your posts that clearly states and summarizes their content, so it’s easier for everyone to read and search for them! Try not to use ‘I have a question’.
