Since 2000, one or more casthousesCasthouse in our industryIndustry have been destroyed by a catastrophic molten metalMolten metal explosionExplosions. Workers have been killed and injured. Companies have been shuttered because of the loss of production. Many of these explosionsExplosions have not been reported to the AluminiumAluminium Association’s Molten MetalMolten metal Incident Reporting Program. Thus, our industryIndustry is unaware of the root causes of these explosionsExplosions and cannot take the necessary action through engineering control or revised training to prevent recurrence. This project will review a number of these catastrophic casthouseCasthouse explosionsExplosions. We are providing root cause analysis where previously there were none publicly. Companies who fail to share the root causes of catastrophic explosionsExplosions unknowingly place other companies and our entire industryIndustry at risk of experiencing the same fate.
