Grain dust is pound for pound more explosive than coal dust or gunpowder. Ignited by an electrostatic discharge or other cause, it has ripped apart grain silos and has killed or wounded many workers over the years. When 54 people were killed during Christmas week 1977, grain handlers and the U.S. government finally decided to combat dust accumulation.10 Ten years, 59 deaths, and 317 serious injuries later, a compromise standard was agreed on that designates dust accumulation of one-eighth inch or more as dangerous and impermissible in silos in the United States. Nevertheless, on Monday, June 8, 1998, a series of explosions killed seven workers performing routine maintenance at one of the largest grain elevators in the world, demolishing one of the 246 concrete, 120-feet-high silos that stretch over a length of one-half mile in Haysville, Kansas. Discuss grain facility explosions as a case study of workplace safety and rule making: Which ideas concerning acceptable risk apply here? My…
Situation: An oriented-strand board manufacturer operated its plant on a 24-hour, 7-day work week with two 12-hours shifts. Shift changes occurred at 8:00 am and 8:00 pm. At approximately 8:30 pm on January 18, 2001, a wet hog, which was located in a wood room, dropped off line and would not operate. The wet hog was used to grind tree bark and wood residue into a wet fuel used in wet-fuel burners in the plant. The wet hog was not essential to the operation of the plant, and whether or not it was operating had no effect on other operations in the plant. An electrician was assigned to repair the hog. At approximately 10:30 pm, he entered the motor control room and opened a 2300-volt motor circuit breaker. He caused an electrical fault in the circuit breaker, apparently by contacting energized parts inside the circuit breaker cubicle, and the ensuing electric arc burned the employee and ignited his clothing. He sustained burns over 90 percent of his body, 60 percent of which were…

Sigma Airway: In 2021, Sigma Airway was considering the possibility of adding a new economy class to the two existing classes - first class and tourist -in the hope that the total contribution to its profit from fares might be increased. Ms. Somsri, the marketing manager for Sigma had to decide within the next week whether or not to introduce such as a change. If introduced, the new class would have to be retained for at least 100 days. Somsri felt that the essential question to be answered in her analysis was whether such a deal would attract sufficient new customers to offset the loss of revenue from existing tourist customers switching to the lower-contribution economy class. Somsri, having had some experience with these problems in the past, made the following assessments: On an average day she felt that there was a 1 in 3 chance that 200 new customers would be attracted to the new class, a 1 in 3 chance at the figure would be around 100 new customers, and a 1 in 3 chance that it…
