Fossil-fuel power stations play a crucial role in generating electricity by burning fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, or oil. These power plants are complex and operate in demanding environments where workers face various hazards. The general process involves burning coal, natural gas, or oil to convert them into electricity.
Coal:
- Potential Hazards: Heat and flame risks, particulates (coal dust), chemicals (such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides), and mechanical hazards.
Natural Gas:
- Potential Hazards: Explosion and fire risks (from gas leaks), static electricity, chemicals (such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides), and heat stress.
Oil-Fired:
- Potential Hazards: Heat and flame risks, oil and grease spills, explosion risks, and chemicals (such as sulfur dioxide and heavy metals).
