As a result, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has issued a guidance note for bulk Cement silos, PG 3\/1 (2001), issued by the Secretary of State on this subject. Although initially aimed at the cement, concrete and quarrying industries, the guidance has clear implications for all industries that utilise tanker-filled silos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Background to the Guidance Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In each of the incidents examined, the silos became pressurised during pneumatic filling by a road tanker. The connection between the reverse jet filter and the silo roof was identified as the weak point, resulting in the filter unit weighing around 250kg being dislodged. In at least one case, the dislodged filter seriously injured the tanker driver. The underlying issue in each case was the pressure relief valve, which was undersized for the maximum airflow entering the silo. These problems were exacerbated by a lack of maintenance and by silo overfilling&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within the powder processing industry, there have been a number of serious accidents involving silos that have become over-pressurised by&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1237"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1240,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237\/revisions\/1240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
