it is a joint statement of nato, the g7 leaders, and president trump. the next line of it says, after the condemnation of russia was clearly s russia s attack on ukrainian cities, which is obviously done by russia today, it then says that we discussed the dust explosion that took place in the eastern part of poland. we offer our full support for the assistance with poland s ongoing investigation. we agreed to remain in close touch to determine appropriate next steps as the investigation proceeds. nothing accusatory there, then. yeah, i think it is pretty notable, lawrence, that in that statement and in biden s statement publicly, they are kind of lowering the temperature here. obviously if there is a deliberate russian missile attack on a nato country, on the soil of a nato country, that is a matter of the most serious international consequences. we have a commitment to the
Correct application of a common safety procedure would help prevent engulfment, electrocutions, and entanglement incidents involving workers in the US feed, grain and processing sectors, according to OSHA.
In that context, a new interactive
training module on the security mechanism in question – lockout/tagout (LOTO) – has been developed by the US National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA).
“The purpose of the training module is to provide front line workers, supervisors and managers an increased knowledge of different situations and hazards frequently associated with LOTO and to further the discussion around hazard identification and mitigation.”
The six main hazards in the US feed and grain industries, as identified by OSHA, are engulfment, falls, electric related, entanglements, struck-by, and dust explosions.
These images captured over decades illustrate the destructive force of combustible dust fires and explosions.
A dust explosion or fire is one of the worst things that can happen to operations that handle or process powder and bulk solids. While standards and new technologies have been introduced over the decades to reduce the likelihood of a combustible dust event, operations continue to face the risk of these incidents. Cameras have captured the destructive force of dust explosions and fires since the mid-1800s. This visual evidence continues to serve as a reminder that the powder and bulk solids industry must be ever-vigilent to protect their facilities from dust-related blasts and fires.
