    It would be great if there was a monitor for minimum explosive concentrations (MEC) of combustible dust. Just like there is for LEL of gases and vapors. Which all have the potential for explosive atmospheres as recognized by ATEX in the EU Great post!I

OSHA Grain Facility Standard

shared by John Astad on 18 Jun 09 - Cached
  • Mr. Plummer said the fire is believed to have broken out at the rear, or west side, of the building, a location where grains were mixed. That could point to an electrical problem, but he added that over the years a lot of dust, cobwebs and other debris have collected in the area and could be sources of combustion.

    Is the OSHA Grain Facility Standard Working? Reduction in incidents but still events occur. Can not prevent incidents, only minimize the severity and reduce the probability.
