An explosives factory can be separated into two zones: the "non-danger" and "danger" areas. The 
main function of the non-danger area lies in the manufacture of nitric and sulphuric acids for the 
nitration processes, including the recovery of these acids from the waste products of nitration. Other 
raw materials are also prepared in the non-danger area. The actual manufacture of explosives and 
their mixing and packing are carried out in the 
danger area, which requires careful safety measures. The main danger in manufacture is starting a fire 
by spark, friction or impact, the latter two being especially hazardous if the explosive is allowed to 
become contaminated with gritty material. Naked lights, steel tools or anything which might produce 
spark or flame are, therefore, forbidden in the dangers buildings. Each building has a "clean" floor 
which may be approached only in specially cleaned shoes, while the workers are provided with 
factory clothing to ensure that grit is not carried into the plant.
