Case let1
OxygenCylinder- APotential ExplosionHazard
In an open area outside a mechanical workshop, a welder was cutting some steel plates with an
oxy-acetylene gas cutter. The oxygen cylinder was about to get empty so, he decided to replace
it with a filledone. He unscrewed the regulator from the empty cylinder and installedit on the
new full cylinder.
When he opened up the cylinder valve, he noticed a leak at the union connection betweenthe
cylinder and the regulator. He therefore turned off the cylinder valve, unscrewed the union and
examined the gasket. He found that there were two gaskets instead of one, which ought to be
the case. So, he removed one of the gaskets. He then screwed up the union again and turned on
the cylinder valve.
The moment he turned on the cylinder, there was an explosionin the regulator followedby fire.
A jet of flame emerged from the back of the regulator and continued until the cylinder valve was
shut off. A large portion of the regulator melted and burned during the incident.
There was no injury to anyone. The welder remained alert to save himself.
Surveillance Findings
1. An examination of the regulator revealed that there was some grease in the ball bearing in
the front housing.
2. The explosionactually occurred in the rear high-pressure section and the grease was found in
the front housing of the regulator.
3. It is concluded from both the above findings that:
had been,in all probability, grease in the rear section too.
explosion.

4. Case let2
Explosionin a Chemical Raw Material Store
A continued process chemical plant, manufacturing anion and cation exchange resins, used
hazardous chemicals as their raw material. The process intermediates were also hazardous but
the final products were not. The plant had a separate raw material store, which was maintained
as per laid sown standards, and a ring main fire hydrant system. However the inventorieswere
more than the necessary consumption because of shortage of material as and when required.
One day in the afternoon at about 2:00pm, a loud sound was heard and the workers observed
dense white smoke coming out if the ventilators of the raw material store. The smoke
disappeared in five minutes.
Findings
1. The storeroom was immediatelyopened to inspect what had gone wrong.
2. A cardboard drum, contained Benzoil Peroxide (BPO) had explodedand spread all over the
store.
3. The area was immediatelycleaned and the drum was cut open, thoroughly cleaned, rendered
to piecesand disposed of safely.
4. No one was reported injured because the place is isolated.
Question
1. Prepare aninvestigationreportonthe basisof above case and suggestsome pointsfor
prevention.
