data\, which may be found in literature but thought must be made as to wh

About this presentation
Regulation and Best Practice means that any process handling h
azardous materials must adequately assess and consider their process in fu
ll\, including non-designed operation. Many risk assessments can be used a
nd chosen for their relevance to the specific process\, but RAs based on i
nvalid data or assumptions on material behaviour cannot function as expect
ed. A Basis of Safety must be built on accurate and relevant process safet
y data\, which may be found in literature but thought must be made as to w
hether the process itself manipulates or converts the material to a more h
azardous state. The best way to ensure assessments are appropriate is to t
est materials in the form in which they are present in any process.
Testing should emulate a worst-case scenario\, so that if the wor
st should happen the process is designed adequately to deal with such an e
vent. Industrial Explosion Hazards testing of fine solid dust materials\,
gasses and vapours\, and electrostatic properties can inform: first on avo
iding any potential for explosions to occur\; secondly should they happen
that your equipment on plant can deal with such a scenario. Chemical React
ion Hazards testing informs on the inherent reaction heats present in any
desired reaction\, alongside any potential for further decomposition mecha
nisms and for a runaway reaction to occur. Knowledge of such material prop
erties allow for proper plant design and engineering\, from early stage at
R&\;D to production and validation of old systems.
