To be fair, the people needing those eyeglass stores might not have a lot of distance in their vision and then it just becomes a game of 'how close can we get to the customer'.

Sugar refinery here. Sparking with sugar dust can be.... bad

I have no specific knowledge of this explosion and it wasn't any way associated with my workspace but my understanding is that it was NOT a metal tool spark.

I believe it was caused by a new system installed to contain the sugar dust and reduce the mess and it was basically a little box around where sugar dumps from one line / conveyor onto another. This built up to very high concentrations of dust that eventually reacted with a motor or something and caused the explosion.

Thank you.

The video chalked it up to 'likely an overheated bearing'
