Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
WARNING
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not
always, clearly marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as
gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that a radio
or its accessories could generate sparks.
