Fire
Rupture of shell and subsequent ignition
Hazard Mechanism
Shell ruptures from poor quality workmanship. Ignition highly likely.
Consequences
1. Jet fire likely causing localized property damage.
2. VCE possible (1000 kg material)
Risk
1. Low - Onsite and, probability of shell failing low.2. Off site!
