• General HSE and Transport compliance verification for Quality standards. Impact of Coal Dust on Turbine Component Quality
  Physical Contamination
  Surface contamination: Coal dust settling on turbine components can lead to:
  Corrosion risks, especially for unprotected metallic surfaces.
  Damage to coatings or paints, reducing the durability and efficiency of components.
  Increased cleaning requirements, causing delays and additional costs.
  Sealing and assembly challenges: Dust entering sensitive joints or surfaces can affect the performance and reliability of the components during assembly and operation.
  Component Protection
  Packaging materials (e.g., shrink wrap or covers) may become compromised if not properly sealed, allowing coal dust infiltration.
  Dust particles can act as abrasives, damaging sensitive or polished surfaces such as turbine blades.
  Worker Exposure
  Prolonged exposure to coal dust during offloading can impact worker health, violating standards under South Africa's Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA).
  Dust mitigation measures such as personal protective equipment (PPE), including masks and goggles, are required.
  Equipment Contamination
  Coal dust can interfere with cranes, forklifts, and other machinery, potentially causing operational inefficiencies or malfunctions that could compromise safety during offloading.
