Yes, it is a real hazard in a grill restaurant, because sparks reach guests, clothing and tables.

Main causes

• Moisture trapped in the charcoal. Under heat it turns to steam too fast and splits the piece. This is the most common cause.
• Uneven carbonisation, leaving parts that are still wood rather than carbon.
• Poor storage, such as bags on the floor or against a wall, letting the charcoal reabsorb moisture.

How to reduce it: store charcoal dry and off the floor, away from walls; light it fully until the white smoke stops before it goes to a guest's grill; and choose charcoal with low moisture and consistent piece size. If one batch pops far more than usual, tell your supplier: that is a batch problem, not something to live with.
