The Threats In A C1D1 And C1D2 Location

By Larry Stone


The world had already reached the Industrial Age where social organization and economy have changed and turned into more advanced machinery. More industrial, mechanical and power plants were established to generate and produce products that are relevant to the people. With that, it gave work opportunities to many individuals. However, working in a factory or some manufacturing plants can also be dangerous especially when you are located in a hazardous area such as c1d1, c1d2 and any class divisions.

Almost everywhere contains a potential danger that people usually ignore or perhaps nobody cares about it at all. There are some places that can really put you in danger. One of that is working on a power plant or some factories. You might get physically hurt because you bumped on to something that is sharp and it hurt your knees. Or maybe you got poisoned after having a contact with a poisonous substance. Imagine these dangers that can totally ruin your life.

A source or originator of a potential harm is a hazard. Remember that word. People sometimes misinterpret the use of hazard and harm. Hazard is basically anything that may harm you and brings out risky problems to your health. On the other hand, harm is just a physical damage or injury that you get. Two different words but they still pose danger. To know if your workplace is hazardous, it should contain ignitable liquids or dust and gases that are enough to produce a fire or worse, an explosion.

An explosive is a substance which can either be liquid or solid or perhaps a mixture of both. It is capable of generating vapor at such a pressure, speed and temperature, causing a casualty to the surroundings once the substance suddenly blows out. As dangerous as it sounds, areas prone to explosion must be protected with some special electrical materials or wirings in order to be protected and avoid those harmful damages.

Explosions can occur on Class I. In this location, combustible vapors are or may be existent in the air in sufficient quantities to produce burnable mixtures or explosives. In addition, Class I locations are separated into two divisions and also three zones.

Class I Division 1, has combustible absorptions of ignitable gases. It may also happen under ordinary circumstances. It discharges ignitable vapors coming from repair, leak or maintenance or when an operation has gone into error.

Class I Division 2. This is also known as C1D2. In a C1D2 area, explosive ignitable gases or liquids are used. However, they are typically restrained in closed systems or vessels. It may also be a place where burnable concentrations of vapors are blocked with positive automated ventilation.

Those substances escaped only in a situation where there is an accident or a breakdown. In addition, C1D2 can be next or near to other division locations. The inflammable absorption of gases may be periodically present.

An environment should have safety measures so that dangerous situations such as explosion will not occur. Risks connected to health will reduce. Whether your area is in Class I or not, do not let your guards down.
