SAFETY FIRST: Avoiding Common Pitfalls of Alternative Fuels in R&D Testing Facilities
September 8, 2023
When companies involved in product design, testing, and manufacturing are asked about their top concerns on testing with alternative fuels, safety becomes the primary focus. Testing equipment involving rotating components, high-pressure fluids, and flammable materials inherently carries risks, particularly in research and development where testing outcomes are intentionally exploratory or destructive. Whether making the switch from diesel to battery power or from natural gas to hydrogen, new alternative fuel technology introduces fresh safety challenges. Organizations embarking on or expanding product research involving alternative fuels must place a high priority on implementing effective safety measures at the forefront of their endeavors, rather than responding reactively to crises as they arise.
