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.

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.
