Summary of the lecture
Gases are a substantial part in steel production processes. They are used selectively during a wide variety of processes in the steel industry. At the same time, however, they can also arise or be released in undesirable places, even as a product because of the process.
Most of the gases are invisible, some of them are even not detectable by the human sensory system. Nevertheless, there are gas properties that might cause risks for workers and plants, like explosivity, toxicity or oxygen depletion.
In this first part of a dedicated webinar series, our safety experts will give you insights in an adapted risk assessment process related to the issue of gassing and asphyxiation. From this basis on we will focus on suitable measures for risk mitigation with best practice sharing from steel production. Get valuable safety information and practical insights from our safety experts. Join the discussion with experts and ask your questions in a Q&A session.
