    Great idea with fire department in Germany conducting drills working closely with manufacturing sector management preparing for a combustible dust related fire or explosion occurrence. When was the last time your facility had a fire drill working closely with the local fire department? "Know Before You Go"

    Global Combustible Dust Hazards in breakfast cereal manufacturing.
  • John Astad on 16 Jun 09
     
    Just last year there was dust explosion at Quaker Oats in Cedar Rapids, Iowa where a spark got into the dust collector and ignited the cereal dust causing an explosion, no injuries, according to media reports. Prior to that the Chemical Safety Board reported on three other instances at Breakfast Cereal Manufacturing facilities from 1991-2005 where combustible dust related fires/explosions occured. Mostly it's dust collector related and even the hammermill where ignition sources completed the fire triangle or explosion pentagon. Globally last year there was Grampian Oat Products where a piece of metal getting into the pelleter, causing sparks in Banff, Banffshire, United Kingdom. Grampian Oat Products are Oat millers & packers, Scottish produce in both retail and industrial park sizes of oatflakes, jumbo oatflakes, oatmeals, oatbran and oatflour.

  • Inspections also revealed that vocational schools are largely ignorant of the risk of wood dust explosions.

      Same situation in the USA. Combustible dust hazards is a global issue of concern throughout many sectors that a majority of stakeholders are not aware of.
  • According to de Groot, a funding shortage caused the dangerous situations in these schools.

      Funding is a big issue with the initial combustible dust testing for ignition sensitivity and explosion severity.

    Just as in the Netherlands, combustible dust hazards exist in schools here in the USA that have vocational training in their metal, wood, and auto workshops

  • John Astad on 27 Jun 09
     
    Reading this GAO report the reader can now understand why the CSB Dust Hazard Study is incomplete and does not fully address trends where combustible dust related fires and explosions are occurring throughout industry. Incomplete data should not have been used as the basis of the OSHA Dust NEP and now the OSHA rulemaking process.
