Short title	Prevention, venting and containment are mapped to deflagration; venting is excluded for detonation.
Image title	Decision tree. Before ignition: prevent a flammable mixture (including inerting) and control ignition sources. If ignition is possible, first assess the mechanism. The deflagration branch leads to deflagration venting, suppression and containment. The detonation branch leads to a specialised detonation assessment; explosion venting is marked unsuitable for detonation. No measure is universally effective.
