3.1.5 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

WARNING

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often,

but not always, clearly marked. These may be fuelling

areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer or

storage facilities, and areas where the air contains

hemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal

powders.

Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire

resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Turn OFF two-

way radios when in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not

impossible that a radio or its accessories could generate

sparks.
