Worker safety has always been a big focus in the work environment, and finding ways to assure worker safety helps control insurance costs. Because liquid cleaners typically require less handling by workers vs. powder cleaners, there are fewer injuries from moving and lifting 50-pound bags. There are also issues with dust inhalation as bags are opened and dumped into tanks.
Workers may also be injured in cleaner eruptions. Cleaner eruptions often occur when a powder cleaner is added in a localized area to the process tank which is caused by an exothermic reaction (where excessive heat is generated). These eruptions can often cause serious injuries like skin burns, etc.
While liquids can be manually added, they also have the option of using automatic control systems or pumping/feed systems, because there is less manual handling of material and the opportunity for injury can be avoided.
Beyond safety, another advantage of liquid cleaners and the use of automatic control systems or pumping and feeding systems is-->Learn more.
