The rules around flying with portable batteries are becoming increasingly confusing as some airlines in Asia change their policies, citing the risk of fires. Airlines in China, Taiwan, Thailand, and Singapore have all announced bans or strong restrictions on using and charging power banks on planes. There currently is no industry standard on how airlines regulate power banks so individual airlines are making their own rules. What do you think about this development? Let us know in the comments. https://hubs.li/Q03bJ1sy0 via The New York Times #LithiumBatterySafety #AirlineRegulations #LithiumIonBatteryFire #RegulatoryChanges #FAA #BatteryFire #AirlineSafety

The California wildfire devastation left an unprecedented number of lithium battery powered vehicles destroyed. However, with lithium batteries, that doesn't mean the risk of reignition is gone once the vehicle is destroyed. The EPA has been working with local authorities to develop a thorough process to eliminate the risk of these battery packs. https://hubs.li/Q039QYtv0 via KCAL News #lithiumbattery #LithiumIonBatteryFire #LAwildfires #California #LithiumBatteryDisposal #Hazmat #HazardousMaterialStorage #LithiumBatteryStorage #PrefabricatedPortableHazmatBuildings

The US Chemical Safety Board just released a video into the deadly Watson Grinding Mfg. explosion in Houston, TX, January of 2020. Propylene gas was the culprit, but what caused it to build up within the building? This video illustrates the protective measures you can take within your safety plan. https://hubs.li/Q038tB190 #ChemicalExplosion #ChemicalFire #IndustrialSafety #ChemicalStorageBuilding #HazmatStorageBuilding #PropyleneGas #ChemicalSafetyBoard #video #SafetyActionPlan

Farewell Friday: ?? This FireLock? chemical storage building was designed for the long haul! Some projects take time, and this 2-hour fire-rated hazmat building was no exception. ?? Started in 2020, this project was years in the making as the overall project changed. ?? Spanning 52+ feet, it was built to store 168 55-gallon drums of hazardous materials. ??? Traveled all the way to Wisconsin, delivering top-tier safety to one of the largest life sciences companies in the world. Built for compliance, durability, and safety, this powerhouse features: ?? Precision temperature controls to protect sensitive materials ?? Dry chemical fire suppression for rapid hazard response ?? C1D2 explosion-proof electrical & mechanical systems ?? H-2 Occupancy compliance for peace of mind From concept to completion—this build was made for the long haul. Let's start the conversation about your upcoming chemical storage project. We can help guide you through the process and provide you with the exact building for your requirements, no matter how big the challenge! We'll carry you through it. #MadeForTheLongHaul #FireRatedBuildings #ChemicalStorage #HazmatSafety #ExplosionProof #EHSSolutions #IndustrialSafety #PrefabricatedBuildings #FireLock #USChemicalStorage #FlammableChemicals #HazardousStorage #ChemicalStorageBuilding #HazmatStorageBuilding

Spokane firefighters responded to a lithium-ion battery fire that broke out Tuesday morning. The building housed Max Amps Lithium Batteries, a company that builds lithium-ion batteries. "It’s still a new problem to us in the fire service. We are starting to see that more nationwide, these battery fires turn into big events, and that’s what happened here today. Technically this is the largest event we’ve had with batteries in the city," said Justin de Ruyter with the Spokane Fire Department. https://hubs.li/Q038tJsc0 #LithiumBatteryFire #LithiumIonBatterySafety #LithiumIonBatteryFire #BatterySafety #SpokaneFire #FireDepartmentSafety #DynaLocLTC #SafeBatteryStorage

Hazardous liquids in hazmat buildings are stored in 55-gallon drums or large totes, so the likelihood of all containers leaking at the same time would be slim. That’s why regulatory bodies needed to clarify how large the volume of secondary containment sumps should be. What codes should you be referencing? This @safetyhealthmag article can help you navigate the waters. https://hubs.li/Q038j6gv0 #ChemicalStorage #SecondaryContainmentSumps #SafetyAndHealthMagazine #NSC #NationalSafetyCouncil #HazmatStorage #ChemicalStorageBuildings #HazmatStorageBuildings #MadeInUSA #SumpSize

A large chemical fire broke out Monday at a Pennsylvania manufacturer of metal aerospace fasteners and precision components. A shelter-in-place order closed schools and suspended rail service. Icy weather made fire fighting efforts difficult. No injuries were reported. Some of the chemicals that could have been involved at such a facility are: lubricants and cutting fluids, adhesives and sealants, paints and coatings, or solvents and degreasers, all of which have flammable properties. Chromate-based inhibitors used in metal processes are corrosive, so they can accelerate combustion when in contact with flammable materials. https://hubs.li/Q037kF5F0 #ChemicalFire #ChemicalSafety #ChemicalPlantFire #MetalFabrication #AerospaceIndustry #ManufacturingSafety #Corrosives #FlammableChemicals #ChemicalStorageBuildings #ChemicalStorage #IndustrialSafety #EHS #Acetone #Chromates #PrefabricatedPortableBuildings
