Why do employees in the oil depot have anti-static safety shoes?

We all know that in oil depots, the dangers that often occur are explosions and fires, as well as the risks associated with electrostatic clicks. Does the above danger occur? Mainly because of the large amount of static electricity in the oil storage station, we require the oil depot to be equipped with anti-static safety shoes to ensure normal production and prevent danger.

 

Static electricity is produced by friction between two different substances. The oil depot has a large amount of oil and frequent oil transportation and receiving operations, so the presence of static electricity is inevitable. The human body is more dangerous than the machine because people are moving. If you walk or operate in a dangerous place, it is equivalent to a one-time fire. Therefore, the body's anti-static can not be ignored.

 

Wear anti-static safety shoes (labor shoes), use conductive flooring, the human body can be stored in the ground area to collect static electricity. If the generated static electricity is dissipated by the earth, the human body cannot be charged. From the standpoint of antistatic, a substance having a resistance of less than 108 Ω is a conductor. Wearing anti-static protective shoes is an electrostatic conductor, power frequency AC insulator, impact resistance.

 

Wearing anti-static (safety) shoes must be effective on conductive ground. Earth, sand, cement and other ground, the resistance will not exceed 106Ω, is an electrostatic conductor. Conductive floors should be used where flammable gases or flammable liquids leak.

 

Because the electrostatic accidents caused by petrol station oil stations are extremely destructive, the consequences of explosions and fire accidents are also the most serious. Therefore, the electrostatic protection is enhanced, so that employees can safely install anti-static safety shoes (labor shoes) for the oil depot. This is very important, it can also effectively reduce the damage caused by other damage caused by static electricity. Safety is not small, be careful!
