Safer ships, Cleaner Oceans - Static Electricity and Its Control On Ships Vol 3

This pocket book is based on an extract from the book titled The Explosion Protection Equipment Guide for Mariners. It deals with understanding various hazards and the safety measures related to static electricity, that is often ignored or misunderstood by many.
