Sorry, just to clarify, the explosion was not related at all to the power strip but to the chemical reaction. Thanks

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Power strips in hoods
All
Does anyone have policies or know of requirements for power strips, and similar power supply units, in hoods. I am referring to not explosion proof rated hoods and areas.
I know of a incident that happened years ago that involved a chemical explosion in a hood that injured a chemist. OSHA investigated and the only “citation” was for use of “temporary” wiring inside a hood. The OSHA inspector considered the power strip temporary wiring and prohibited them from inside the hood.
Please let me know.
Thanks
