Burn Injuries, Imperial Sugar Explosion, Refinery Explosions
The United States Chemical Safety Board has released a video about the dangers of Combustible Dust and how such dust can cause Refinery Explosions and workplace accidents. Combustible dust fires and explosions continue to occur frequently, despite the well known risk combustible dust poses to workers. An excess of combustible sugar dust at the Imperial refinery in Port Wentworth, Georgia caused that facility to explode, killing 14 and injuring dozens more.
