Combustible Dust is a deadly hazard that's lurking in many neighboring manufacturing facilities. Performance Industrial is a commercial and industrial cleaning company that has seen first hand the dangers of combustible dust and how to prevent them. This two-part guide answers a few questions: 1) What is Combustible Dust; 2) What particles and materials can combust; 3) How an explosion can happen; 4) How to prevent a combustible dust explosion. Our hope is that this presentation will educate more of our industry partners so, together, we can all create a safer space for our workers.
Dust is a common in process industries that manufacture, store and handle particulate material. More than 70% of dusts processed in industries are combustible. Dust explosion regularly occur in process industries, cause serious damage and live loss. Dust explosion was found in literature since 1785 and the records are available from the 20th century. Lot of experiments were done to control explosions occurring in coal mines and other processing industries, but stills explosions are occurring in different countries due to different dusts, these accidents disclose that there are still some technical problems unsolved. Industrial technology in India is similar to develop countries but information relevant to dust explosion occurring in India is almost negligible because in most accidents that occur in India the broad term explosion is used and recorded while the type of explosion goes unpublicized. It is impossible to eliminate dust explosion but it can be reduced by using different methods.
This document discusses occupational exposure to industrial dust, including an estimated 9.2 million workers exposed in the UK. Dust exposure can occur through handling powders, cutting materials, and disturbing settled dust. Health effects include respiratory diseases, irritation, fibrosis, COPD, asthma, and lung cancer. Evaluating risks involves initial and detailed surveys. Studies on brick making and stone cutting found many workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica above recommended limits. Risk of silicosis increases significantly with exposure levels over 15 years. Controlling dust involves prevention through engineering solutions, work practices like wet cutting, PPE, and measures like exposure time reduction, supervision, training and health surveillance.
The document discusses three key factors - invisible particles, irritant gases, and infectious microbes (the "3 I's") - that can affect indoor environmental quality in classrooms and impact student attendance. It provides examples of specific contaminants that fall under each factor and their potential health effects. It also discusses strategies for improving classroom air quality, such as filtration systems, ventilation standards, and cleaning procedures.
- Construction workers face significant health risks from exposure to silica dust, which can lead to fatal lung diseases like silicosis. Over 500 workers in the UK are estimated to die from silica exposure each year.
- Exposure measurement studies show that workers performing tasks like drilling, demolition, and concrete grinding often experience respirable silica exposures above the UK limit of 0.1 mg/m3. Long-term or high-level exposures increase the risk of developing silicosis.
- Effective dust control measures during tasks that generate silica dust, such as using water sprays or extraction tools, are needed to reduce worker exposures and health risks from silica.

Explosion Protection in the Food IndustryTeresa Long
Â
The food industry experiences more combustible dust explosions than any other industry due to commonly held perceptions that food is safe. However, many food products can combust if particulate levels exceed minimum explosive concentrations. While OSHA has no dust explosion standard, NFPA provides guidelines. Key factors that enable dust explosions include an ignitable concentration of dust dispersed in air. Common protective measures include venting, suppression, containment and isolation of dust. Poor housekeeping allowing fugitive dust accumulation presents significant risks for secondary explosions. Recent major food industry dust explosions demonstrate the devastating costs of unaddressed hazards. Effective protection requires balancing food safety and explosion prevention requirements.
This document provides information about a training presentation on combustible dust hazards. It was produced with funding from the Susan Harwood Training Grant through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The presentation aims to define combustible dust, discuss historical dust explosions, identify at-risk industries, perform a risk analysis of dust hazards, and describe principal control methods including prevention and mitigation. It will cover topics such as definitions, risks, facility evaluation, applicable standards, and proposed OSHA regulations on combustible dust.
The document discusses combustible dust explosions, providing background on incidents since 1995, types of dusts and industries involved, and recommendations to prevent future explosions. It defines combustible dust and outlines hazard mitigation techniques, emphasizing controlling ignition sources and proper ventilation to prevent the buildup and dispersion of dust.
This document provides information about the Combustible Dust Training Program (C-DuST) grant from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The grant was awarded to Kirkwood Community College to develop a training program to improve worker safety around combustible dust hazards. The training program covers the conditions needed for a dust explosion, types of combustible dusts, case studies of dust explosions, and methods to prevent dust explosions through practices like housekeeping, dust control systems, and fire prevention. The goal is to help workers recognize combustible dust hazards and address them in their workplaces.
Every time a combustible dust accident happens, you can make two assumptions. Firstly, preventing the accident could have been done with a combustible dust safety program. Secondly, the accident, or one just like it, probably happened before. Maybe at a different company or in another place, but some things stay the same. With combustible dust accidents, history does repeat itself.
This document provides an overview of dust management. It defines dust as finely divided materials that have become airborne. Dust creates health, safety, and environmental risks. Prolonged exposure to respirable dust (particles 10 microns or smaller) can lead to lung damage as these particles become trapped. Dust also presents explosion risks if certain conditions are met. Effective dust management is needed to reduce these risks and comply with regulations.
We are all aware of Dust hazards such as causing slippery surface and health dust inhalation hazard, however, dust explosion hazard awareness is not adequate. Even if we know about dust explosion but there are many risk factors for dust explosion hazard which are unknown.

Several case studies of accidents at pharmaceutical plants are presented to illustrate hazards like explosions and chemical releases. Common causes of accidents included lack of inherently safer design practices, insufficient safety controls, poor hazard awareness, and deficiencies in procedures and maintenance. Reducing risks requires understanding hazards, implementing proper controls, and focusing on priorities like process safety, ergonomics, and hygiene.
1) The proposed gasification plant in Kamloops raises several environmental and health concerns due to the inexperience of the operator, the scaling up of an experimental project, and the plan to burn creosote-treated wood ties.
2) Creosote-treated wood presents complex burning problems as creosote contains many toxic and carcinogenic compounds that could produce dioxins and furans when burned.
3) Kamloops is not a suitable location for an experimental burning facility given its existing air pollution problems, vulnerable population, and air dispersal challenges. The community should carefully investigate the impacts and refuse to accept residues from the proposed plant.
Pollution is the addition of substances to the environment that make it impure. The document discusses different types of pollution including air, water, soil, and noise pollution. It provides details on the sources and effects of each type of pollution. Air pollution is caused by combustion, industries, vehicles, and other sources. It affects human health, plants, and the environment. Water pollution results from domestic, industrial, and agricultural wastes and oil spills. It can cause diseases in humans and harm plants and aquatic animals by reducing oxygen levels. Soil pollution changes the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil and can make the soil infertile or transmit disease. The document emphasizes the need to control different types of pollution through various
Indoor air pollution comes from numerous sources and has various health effects. People spend most of their time indoors where pollutant levels can be 2 to 50 times higher than outdoor levels. Main indoor air pollutants include gases like carbon monoxide and formaldehyde, particulate matter like smoke and pet dander, radon, and biological organisms like mold and dust mites. Indoor pollutants react through complex chemical processes involving oxidizers, free radicals, and surfaces. Improving indoor air requires controlling sources, increasing ventilation, and using air cleaners, while indoor pollution poses widespread health and other impacts especially for sensitive groups like children.

Occupational health and safety (Hazard and Risk assessment )Kara M
Â
Bernardino Ramazzini is considered the father of occupational health and safety. In 1700, he published the first book connecting workplace hazards to disease. Occupational health and safety aims to prevent worker harm by identifying hazards, assessing risks, and implementing controls like eliminating hazards, substituting less risky materials, using engineering controls, changing work practices, and using personal protective equipment as a last resort. A risk assessment involves identifying hazards, evaluating risks, deciding if existing controls are adequate, and implementing a risk control hierarchy. Personal protective equipment includes items that protect the head, hands, and feet from various workplace hazards.
The document discusses prevention and control of dust explosions in industry. It begins with a brief history of notable dust explosions. It then explains the anatomy of a dust explosion, highlighting the five necessary parameters. The presentation emphasizes understanding dust reactions and properties that influence explosivity. It also covers generating design data through testing, identifying explosive dusts, and engineering controls to eliminate explosion hazards. Prevention focuses on proper design, equipment, procedures, training, and emergency response.
The document provides guidance on installing electrical equipment in hazardous locations with explosion risks. It defines hazardous atmospheres as areas where flammable gases, vapors, mists or dusts are present in concentrations within their explosive limits and an ignition source is possible. The guide outlines the necessary conditions for an explosion to occur, defines explosive and potentially explosive atmospheres, and lists common substances that can produce explosions. It also compares gas and vapor classification standards between IEC, CENELEC and NEC and provides selection guidance for equipment in different hazardous environments.

5. The first step in understanding this deadly hazard
is to learn why dust can combust. Like any fire, a
combustion explosion begins with three elements
– fuel, oxygen, and an ignition source. However,
what pushes it over the edge are two additional
components: 1) the dispersion of particles; and, 2)
a confined space. Confined spaces create pressure
and dispersed dust particles have more vulnerable
surfaces. The more pressure and exposed surfaces,
the bigger the explosion.
The Dust Combustion Formula
“Combustible dust is a solid material composed of distinct particles
or pieces [...] which presents a fire or deflagration hazard when
suspended in air. Combustible dusts are often either organic or metal
dusts that are finely ground into very small particles, fibers, chips,
chunks, or flakes.”
- OSHA
Hazard Communications Guidance
for Combustible Dusts
6. The more oxygen in the room,
the stronger the explosion.
A “dust cloud” will burn
faster than settled dust.
Electrostatic energy, friction,
hot surface, arcing, or fire.Anything from sugar and calcium
to aluminum and plastic.
A room, building, drop ceiling,
or inside equipment.

If you were to light a pile of sugar dust on a table on fire, it would burn. But, it will likely self-
extinguish because half of its surface area isn’t exposed to oxygen. If those same particles
were thrown in the air and lit, they can combust.
You’re probably familiar with common flammable materials (wood, paper, coal, and more). Combustible dust can come from these and it can come from
hundreds of other materials that may not be top of mind when you think “flammable.” That’s because organic materials of most varieties, once broken
down into a dust-sized particle, have 360 degrees of surface area with microscopic diameters (420 microns or less). Their small size makes them more
flammable and the potential for combustion occurs once they’re dispersed in the air.

9. Sources of Dust and Ignition
Processes that can create combustible dust
While your facility may not directly produce a dust-sized product, common tasks can break larger particles into combustible dust. Some of
these tasks and processes include:
>> Blasting
>> Cutting
>> Polishing
>> Crushing
Spaces combustible dust can collect
Dust explosions have occured in many different types of workplaces and industries. Some of the common structural elements amongst them
show where dust can hide. These areas include, but aren’t limited to:
>> Rafters
>> Suspended ceilings
>> Ducts
Sources of ignition
Not all fires come from flames. In fact, many of the explosions listed in the Introduction didn’t begin near open flames. The following are
some ignition sources that may trigger/feed an explosion:
>> Sparks
>> Friction
>> Arcing
>> Conveying
>> Mixing
>> Screening
>> Rolling/unrolling
>> Slitting
>> Sweeping
>> Blowing
>> Vacuuming
>> Grinding
>> Shaping
>> Transporting
>> Sieving
>> Furnaces
>> Dust collectors
>> Horizontal surfaces
>> Under/above equipment
>> Around conveyors
>> Roofs
>> Hot surfaces
>> Fire/flames
>> Welding
>> Stoves/ovens
>> Kilns
>> Cigarettes
>> Engines
>> Machines
>> Electrostatic discharge
>> Silos
>> Grain elevators
>> Vacuums
Workplace conversations about dust are often about inhaling it to prevent health problems. While a worthy concern, this has lead to some
misunderstandings about where dust comes from, where it collects, and what can cause an explosion.
11. The five elements of the Combustible Dust Formula (fuel, oxygen, ignition, confined space, and dispersed particles) combine to trigger an explosion inside
equipment or in a confined area where dust has accumulated (false ceilings, dust collectors, below conveyor belts, etc.). This explosion can damage
equipment and injure nearby employees.
Figure 1:
Primary explosion inside equipment
Primary Explosion
The 2008 Imperial Sugar Refinery explosion began when sugar dust collected
beneath a network of conveyor belts.
12. Like an earthquake, the energy from the primary explosion can shake nearby rooms, attached equipment, or the entire facility. If the facility hasn’t been cleaned
consistently with the correct tools, this disturbance can dislodge hidden dust, send it into the air, and form a dust cloud above unsuspecting employees.
Figure 2:
Dust from above neighboring equipment and ceiling collects in the air
Disturbance and Dust Cloud
In 1999, a Michigan power plant had a natural gas fire. The flames reached coal dust,
caused a secondary explosion, and killed six people.
13. If the dust cloud meets any ignition source, it can explode with extreme force. (Ignition can be heat or flame from the primary explosion, or static
electricity or friction within the facility). This fireball, or secondary explosion, will be significantly more destructive, risking the lives of all employees as it
tears through a facility.
Figure 3:
The dust cloud erupts and sends a fireball through the entire facility
Secondary Explosion
At the 2003 West Pharmaceutical Plant explosion, a chain reaction of explosions
ignited rubber dust hidden in a suspended ceiling. The explosions killed six people
and injured dozens of others.
14. Proactive and Prepared
Combustible dust accidents are preventable. Unfortunately, housekeeping neglect, improper training, and incorrect handling can lead to property damage,
injuries, and loss of life. The following guidelines from OSHA and the NFPA can help your facility begin to mitigate this hazard.
Dust Control and Cleaning
>> Minimize the escape of dust from process equipment or
ventilation systems
>> Use dust collection systems and filters
>> Use surfaces that reduce dust accumulation and help with cleaning
>> Provide access to all hidden areas to permit inspection
>> Conduct regular inspections for dust in open and hidden areas
>> Clean dust residues at regular intervals
>> Use cleaning methods that do not generate dust clouds if ignition
sources are present
>> Use only vacuum cleaners approved for combustible dust collection
>> Locate relief valves away from dust hazard areas
>> Develop and implement a written program for hazardous dust
inspection, housekeeping, and control
>> Conduct strict screening processes for cleaning vendors
Ignition Prevention
>> Use appropriate electrical equipment and wiring methods
>> Control static electricity, including bonding of equipment to the ground
>> Control smoking, open flames, and sparks
>> Separate heated surfaces and heating systems from dust
>> Inspect your spark detection and suppression systems
Safety and Awareness
>> Create an emergency action plan specifically for dust explosions
>> Educate all team members on the risks of combustible dust
>> Put into effect a hot work permit system that addresses how hot work
is performed
>> Contact your local OSHA office with questions about ways to improve
your dust safety
Class II wiring methods and equipment (such as “dust-ignition-proof” and “dust-
tight”) should be used as noted in NFPA 70 Article 500.
