matter and is a common hazard at virtually every
HAZMAT incident. While many responders are aware of
the basic fundamentals of static electricity, few
manage it with the level of priority it deserves.
If correct countermeasures are not enacted, this
hidden hazard can have potentially deadly
consequences to
workers and
responders. |
