Identifying and Managing the Hazards of Combustible Dust: Compliance with Standards
A constant threat in many manufacturing facilities is combustible dust. Over the past few years, there has been an increase in the need for and requirements for dust hazard analyses (DHAs), partly as a result of insurance companies, permitting authorities, and corporate offices requiring facilities and businesses to adhere to regulatory standards and protect personnel and property from potential explosions and fires.
Any machine that can turn a harder material unto dust is suspect. An ignition source when lit can cause an explosion. Industries like food, wood, chemical, plastics, and metals are frequently impacted. And you could also be impacted if you have bag houses and dust collectors.
This topic is Identifying and Managing the Hazards of Combustible Dust: Compliance with Standards. It is imperative that those associated with the facility including owners, managers, superintendents, workers, and first responders such as the fire department understand the potential hazards present from combustible hazards.
