Safety protection against detonation due to accidental initiation of stored fireworks is of particular interest for safety because such detonations endanger the life and health of workers as a result of the uncontrollable effects of deflagration and pressure, the presence of toxic reaction products and the consumption of oxygen in ambient air which workers must breathe. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that material losses caused by explosions can be particularly high.
The existence of the danger of accidental initiation / detonation of stored pyrotechnic articles determines imperatively the establishment of causes and possibilities that can generate the initiation / detonation of these pyrotechnic products for all components of the work system (work environment performer, work equipment and work load). In addition, the organisational aspects of explosion protection must be adapted to the technical problems specific to each workplace so that no weak points arise in explosion protection areas.
In accordance with the specifications in the technical documentation on the activity carried out at the level of an authorized pyrotechnic articles warehouse, the employer is responsible for the safety of the personnel employed. All persons involved must be informed of clearly defined procedures for operation and emergencies, and appropriate training must be provided for employees. It is also necessary that the work instructions and occupational health and safety, as well as the measures provided for in the internal regulations, be included in the specialized trainings, following the quality of the attributes, as well as the way of complying with them during the performance of specific activities and operations with pyrotechnic articles within each process stage, respectively transport, supply, reception and storage.
On the basis of the above, the scientific article will document the results of the computerised risk assessment (drawing of risk/overpressure curves and contour maps on the design of detonation fragments) generated by specific operations with fireworks in their storage.
