Totally depends on the explosive, sparks don't necessarily mean instant boom, for example as said above, PETN needs a good amount of energy to make it release it's energy. Nitroglycerine one of the more powerful explosives you can even shove in a flame and it burns pretty normally, however shove a teensy blasting cap in one ka-f*cking-boom.
Bakeries aren't considered a massive risk due to good ventilation. A flour making plant however I'd expect they have pretty good anti-static precautions.
Computer components are the usual one, semiconductors are pretty sensitive to it, however even I can count the amount of components killed due to static. The answer is zero, the amount of components I've replaced for my work is somewhat high (consider that most machines I work on have 16 or 32 DIMMs in and usually there's over 100 machines in a typical cluster) - I spend a fair amount of time swapping out faulty DIMMs from the factory... Yet I've not ONCE killed one.
