Lightning is a natural phenomenon that can significantly impact the environment, production, and people interacting with thermal petrochemical industries. This is called lightning damage. When lightning strikes and causes an explosion or ignites a fire, it opens the door to many issues that must be considered. The obvious ones are death, destruction, and loss of assets. Large explosive fires of any sort can hurt the environment. Employers, supervisors, and employees must understand the dangers of lightning damage and have a lightning safety plan.
