CORROSION COMMENTARY

LIGHTING FOR INDUSTRY. Lighting equipment may be a particular source of danger under some industrial conditions, due to abnormal corrosion, or to the risk of explosion or fire. The corrosion and fire hazards include flammable liquids, vapours and dusts and some means of protection should, of course, be adopted to ensure safety in normal operation and also under faulty conditions. Precautions should also be taken against any chemical agents present in the atmosphere, perhaps accentuated by weather or heat.
