Molten Metal Explosions are Still Occurring
Abstract
There have been extensive efforts to prevent molten metal explosions in aluminum plants; however, explosions continue to occur. The Aluminum Association continues to collect reports on explosions occurring in the aluminum industry world-wide. Since the program was instituted by the Association in 1985 more than 2600 reports have been received and analyzed. The database is shared with the program participants to enhance awareness, to provide information for employee safety training and to provide guidance for the industry's programs and prevention efforts.
