[QUOTE="bitwrx, post: 7023260, member: 86972"] Just take-off points around the building to connect a compressed air lance. In general, the risk he was advised to be worried about is as other people have said. Grain dust cloud, plus spark = boom. No compressed air or leaf blowers = no dust cloud, or so the theory goes. All about eliminating the hazard. Whether there's much to worry about in a typical farm store is another matter, but incidents in bigger stores around the world, such as at Tilbury, suggest it's not a negligible risk. Easiest thing for a manager on a large estate is just to say "no blowing in the grain store". Simple. [/QUOTE]
