BrundallNavy Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 We sailed past this twice on Saturday and I could not believe the noise and smell, I always thought the cottage on the other bank looked quite picturesque but now I'm not so sure.

Hylander Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I notice they have got their own Fire Station at the Factory but this was obviously out of its league. Glad no one was hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I used to visit Cantley and Bury for work and British Sugar are quite rightly paranoid about fire - sugar dust is explosive! No naked lights anywhere, check your boot soles for drawing pins, smoking shelter so far away I didn't bother! I reckon as soon as the alarm went off it was quite exciting!

ranworthbreeze Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi Stumpy,I have worked at Chip Board plants and the same safety meassures apply, as with any form of dust and its movement there is a constant risk of explosion & fire.RegardsAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
