Many people in the biodiesel industry have a very casual attitude to health and safety and prefer to ignore many of the obvious risks with businesses regularly exposing their employees to methanol vapor and home brewer's blowing up their equipment. This is partly due to enviromentalists trying to promote biodiesel as a safe process to benefit the environment, but more often, people trying to make bigger profits in the biodiesel industry by selling processors as 'safe to use'. We have been criticised for discouraging people from producing biodiesel, but surely it is better to be aware of the dangers if a biodiesel producer is to do it safely? Our attitude is different from people like Richard Price of Filtertechnik who is quoted by the Telegraph as saying: "It's not rocket science. The process is pretty simple and perfectly safe", which we think is an irresponsible and misleading thing to say.
