Protect Against Combustible Dust Explosions and Fires

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DUST HAZARD ANALYSIS

The smaller the particle, the easier it is to ignite. That makes combustible dust a major fire hazard for a wide variety of industries – from food-and-beverage to wood pulp and paper. Dust explosions are devastating and lead to significant downtime that can cost millions. The 2021 Combustible Dust Incident Report from Dust Safety Science found that there were 31 dust explosions in 2021 and 59 OSHA citations totaling $406,000.

A Dust Hazard Analysis is a critical step required by the NFPA. It identifies explosion risks and ignition sources – and provides recommendations for managing dust hazards. In this whitepaper, we explain dust explosion basics, NFPA and ATEX standards, and what you may be doing wrong in your facility.
