Earthed Shipping container workshop - Containers First was recently tasked with fabricating a 40 ft portable workshop that makes handling highly volatile materials much safer. The workshop was equipped with specific safety features designed to greatly reduce the risk of even the tiniest spark setting off an accidental explosion.
Starting with a standard 40 ft ISO container shell, Containers First’s industry-leading modifications team built the workshop according to the client’s exact specifications and in full compliance with national regulations for the safe handling of explosive materials.
Many Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) features were incorporated into the workshop’s design to prevent the unit’s wiring, electrical equipment, or static electricity from inadvertently igniting any of the highly flammable Combustible substances inside.
Just some of the special safeguards Containers First installed for the workshop included:
- Shielded conduits to encase all electrical cabling
- I.S.-certified power points and light switches, and switchboard load centre’s
- All circuits protected by RCD’s (Safety Switches) enclosed in sealed switchboard enclosures.
- Workbench tops covered with copper plating to discharge any build up of static electricity safely to the ground
- A copper touch plate at the workshop’s entrance to ground workers before entering the unit
- Earth spikes with grounding cables connected to all interior metal components
