When handling powders and particulates, you may have experienced the generation of electrostatic charges causing unwanted cohesion or adhesion of materials. This may have then resulted in difficulties such as particle agglomeration, segregation, material build-up on equipment or ignition causing explosions.
The behaviour can be erratic, unpredictable and dangerous.
This one-day course discusses how and why this happens, the resulting hazards, and possible solutions to reduce the risk of repetition.
