Hazardous Locations seeks to inform readers of the many ways in which a fire or explosion may occur. Covering the three main culprits: oxygen to sustain combustion; heat to raise the material to its ignition temperature; and fuel or combustible material, the book provides regulations and rules that focus on keeping fuel sources separated from ignition sources (electrical current). The methodical text provides solutions and explanations on how best to achieve this safely and carefully. 232 pp.
