On-Site Survey and Analysis of Pyrotechnic Mixer Bays

Abstract

Pyrotechnic accidents, some fatal, have occured at several pyrotechnic manufacturing facilities indicating that operator exposure to these operations must be improved. To cover the various aspects, the project was divided into the following four areas: mixer safety, transport and conveying safety, fire suppression system, and bay design safety. This report covers the bay design safety which is concerned with the on-site survey of the five pyrotechnic facilities: Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant (AAP), Lone Star AAP, Pine Bluff Arsenal, Crane Army Ammunition Activity, and Lake City AAP.
