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.

A working environment can also be a threat to the workers. People working in some industries or other factories are exposed to many hazards that can cause harm to a target. They might be caught on some physical accidents like slipping or falling from heights. Or perhaps workers might catch bacteria or viruses from infectious plants or animals. Or worse, they might suffer gravely from an explosion.

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.

A mixture or compound exposed to abrupt chemical reaction, combustion or decomposition is what you called an explosive. By that definition, you could really say how that substance can be very dangerous to live creatures. Explosives are able to produce gases with high pressure and temperature and much larger than the original substance.

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, also contains flammable concentrations of ignitable vapors that may occur even in normal operation situations. It may happen because of a leak, repair, and maintenance. It can also happen when there is a disruption or errors in an operation.

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.

They only break out during the event of a breakdown or accident. A C1D2 location may be next to a Class I Division 1 location. And the ignitable concentrations of vapors or gases might be infrequently current except if interrupted with enough positive-pressure airing with powerful protections against ventilation loss.

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.
