  • Countries -- China, India, Russia, Brazil -- are no different. They understand the value of making things and selling them to others, the contribution competitive manufacturing makes to stability, economic growth and innovation.
  • But she was short -- indeed, silent in her opening remarks -- on tax, regulatory and other government-assessed burdens weighing on business, partly explaining why the Big Mitten has lost so many of the jobs she rightly lamented.

    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.

    This is a very misleading press release. There never was any repeat OSHA citations for this newly acquired facility. The OSHA inspection took place less than 60 days after acquisition from SPF North America, a pet flavor and ingredient mfg. Additionally none of the citations resulted from many of the same safety and health hazards cited in the most recent inspections. Since there wasn't any recent inspections at the facility

OSHA Dust NEP

    • John Astad
      John Astad on 21 Jun 09
       
      Don't forget hybrid mixtures, where flammable vapors mixed with combustible dust, decrease the ignition sensitivity and increase explosion severity of the explosion hazard.
  • Your establishment has been identified as being in an industry
    • John Astad
      John Astad on 21 Jun 09
       
      What about the thousands of other facilities that were not identified in the OSHA Dust NEP? All facilities that generate combustible dust in the manufacturing process are at risk. If your facility has not been identified in Appendix D-1 and D-2 of national industries (NAICS) in the Dust NEP, you are still at risk.
  • Failure to attend to housekeeping standards or to conduct maintenance on your ventilation systems or electrical controls places your employees and your facility at risk.
    • John Astad
      John Astad on 21 Jun 09
       
      Also failure to implement best engineering practices as outlined in the NFPA combustible dust standards. Housekeeping alone will not mininmize the severity and probability of occurence.
  • John Astad on 21 Jun 09
     
    Came across this letter that was sent out to over 30,000 facilities last year by OSHA and thought I'd share with you in case you haven't seen it. There are over 100,000 facilities at risk, which includes many national industries not listed in the Dust NEP. For example, over 50% of ComDust incidents,from media accounts, last year occurred in national industries (NAICS) not referenced in the Dust NEP
