Combustible Dust Hazard Awareness

Good overview of understanding dust collectors

The National Fire Protection Association reports that a fire department somewhere in America responds to a fire every 16 seconds.

Does your facility have an emergency response plan for a combustible dust explosio?

Innovative best engineering practices

OLDS ELEVATORS™ virtually eliminate the risk of dust explosions during the elevating process as there is insufficient air in the casing to support combustion even if a spark was present.

Source for sparck detection and flame suppression

Spark detection systems are primarily used as a fire prevention method in dust collectors and pneumatic conveying systems by detecting and extinguishing sparks and embers.

CTI can develop a facility-specific Combustible Dust Safety Program that will be an all-inclusive safety plan addressing combustible dust hazards

CTI is available to conduct a hazard analysis at the facility to determine the location and severity of combustible dust hazards at a facility. CTI can also assist with developing combustible dust policies, safety programs, aid in training and implementation of the program, and perform engineering design and selection of explosion prevention and protection equipment.

With constant changes in Federal, State and International regulations governing the protection of the environment, public health & safety, and transportation of hazardous materials, making sure your organization is in full regulatory compliance can be a demanding task. Are you up-to-date on the OSHA Combustible Dust Rulemaking?

Keep up-to-date with the OSHA Combustible Dust Rulemaking

Additional safety hazards include the lack of spark detectors or suppression systems to minimize fire and explosion hazards in ventilation systems that collect combustible wood and metal dust; allowing combustible dust to accumulate

Is your facility using best engineering practices as outlined in the NFPA combustuble dust standards such as spark detection and flame suppression?

CEO Imperial Sugar recommends combustible dust hazard prevention and mitigation best practices. See page 7 of 13 in .pdf

John Sheptor, CEO of Imperial Sugar recommends combustible dust hazard prevention and mitigation best practices at the International Sweetener Colloquium February 2009. Which includes adding combustible dusts to the OSHA [29 CFR 1910.119] standard - Process Safety Management System (PSM) for Highly Hazardous, Toxic or Reactive Substances

OSHA does not recognize paper dust in the Dust NEP. Why are some national industries listed in the Dust NEP, yet others not?

Preliminary findings, the uncontrolled spread of the fire which resulted in 13 fatalities, "has been linked to a build-up of highly combustible dust in the roof of the plant".
