[/threecol_one] [threecol_two_last]Containers First Incorporates Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) Technology To Turn A Shipping Container Into A Specialised Mobile Workshop For Handling Explosive MaterialsContainers First was recently tasked with fabricating a 40-foot 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.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
- Workbench tops covered with copper plating to discharge any build up of static electricity safely to the ground
