Understanding what airborne dust is, its potential health effects and how to manage dust in all areas of the workplace is fundamental to ensure that the respiratory health of your workforce is protected.
Generating potentially harmful levels of respirable airborne dust is not confined to production-based tasks within an operation. Engineering and maintenance tasks also have the potential to expose tradesmen and operators to respirable dust that can cause lung disease. Many of these tasks are also often conducted without the need for respiratory protection being taken into consideration.
Occupational dust disease is 100% preventable, and the key to workers making smart choices about their health is education.
This presentation is a generic version of the Airborne Dust Awareness sessions that have been rolled out to thousands of mineworkers in the NSW coal industry recently and has resulted in positive behavioural change in and around the workplace.
As industry leaders, we all need to understand the risks before we can identify them, then eliminate or control them.
What is your level of airborne dust awareness?
Combustible Dust, (or Explosive Dust), cleaning, is a required preventative good housekeeping and maintenance program, in manufacturing and production facilities. This minimizes safety hazards, potential flash fires, and catastrophic dust explosions, in addition to maintaining Indoor Air Quality. Combustible dust is fine particulate dust, which is generated from products such as wood, metals, grains, agricultural, chemicals, plastics, paper, and carbonaceous products. The manufacturing and production facilities equipment and machinery, pulverize, mill, grind, crush, macerate, and cut the bulk product. In return, dust is generated, and accumulates on all equipment and facility structure surfaces. The fine powder dust, which is suspended on the higher, inaccessible and unnoticeable surfaces, is the most problematic. Yet the most hazardous, especially when a primary upset or explosion generates a sonic pressure wave that suspends these particles into the path of a flame front (reaction front), which causes a devastating secondary dust explosion.
In addition to the fire and explosion hazards of dust, the industrial hygiene aspect of fine particles can impact and affect, the facility workers health, leading to illnesses, and injuries. "The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 6.1 percent of private-sector employees suffered 5.7 million workplace injuries and illnesses in 2000. Forty-six percent of those injury cases required days away from work for recuperation or restricted work activity.
J. Paul Leigh of the Stanford Medical Center notes that businesses spend $170.9 billion a year on costs associated with occupational injuries and illnesses—expenditures that come straight out of company profits. Injuries and illnesses increase workers’ compensation and retraining costs, absenteeism, and production faults. They also decrease productivity, morale, and ultimately, profits.
Fortunately, statistics from injury and illness reports filed with OSHA show that workplaces that establish safety and health management systems reduce their injury and illness costs by 20 to 40 percent. "In today’s competitive business environment," says OSHA Administrator John L. Henshaw, "the black-and-blue of workplace injuries can be the difference between operating in the black and running in the red."

High ceiling and surface cleaning, Air Conveyance Cleaning, Dust collector cleaning, Conveyor Belt cleaning, Silo tank cleaning, Lab Fume Hood cleaning, and dust control vacuuming, are some of the services, that may be required to clean the combustible dust. These services help prevent airborne dust and particulates, from accumulating, in the manufacturing and production facilities. These services may also help promote equipment longevity, may decrease utility costs for operating equipment, may increase the brightness of lighting, may stabilize insurance rates, and may allow a greater Return On Investment on manufacturing equipment.
Combustible Dust cleaning should be performed by a certified and trained cleaning company. The certified training should be similar to the N.A.D.C.A., I.A.Q.A., O.S.H.A., and I.I.C.R.C. cleaning standards. Additionally, the certified cleaning contractor, should have the proper Industrial and Commercial cleaning equipment.

Devastating grain dust explosions have been recorded for decades as the risk of flour dust ignition is so high. Without adequate controls and safety measures, grain flour explosions have been known to level entire milling facilities and take lives. While mill owners are making the effort to comply with DSEAR and ATEX regulations to ensure their staffs’ safety, the execution of preventive measures has not always been correct. Many milling facilities share common problems when it comes to the installation of protective equipment. In some cases, they inadvertently exclude “fail-safes” where necessary.

Grain aeration is a popular grain storage tool used in Australia by farmers, offering harvest flexibility, increased marketing opportunities and better control of grain quality. As the range of chemical control options is reduced, grain aeration provides a powerful non-chemical stored grain insect management option.
Another engineering area highly dependent upon a well-defined Technical Data Package (TDP) is the creation of in-process inspection plans and manufacturing process plans.
DISCUS Desktop enables you to take a TDP and quickly create a consolidated master list of requirements (i.e., the Bill of Characteristics) for the finished part. The DISCUS Planner add-on module adds rich functionality to enable you to assign characteristics to operations, create in-process characteristics for operations, and develop operation-specific process illustrations. DISCUS Planner operates as follows:
You start using DISCUS in the same fashion as used for ballooning of the final part drawing – that is, opening the drawing, dropping balloons, snapping rectangles, etc.
DISCUS Planner adds user interface elements to manage characteristics for each operation in the routing. For example, DISCUS Planner adds a panel for the part routing, operation details, work instructions, etc.
You then assign characteristics to specific operations, even changing the characteristic requirements at a specific operation. As needed, you may create in-process characteristics for an operation that don’t appear on the final drawing. You can create operation-specific illustrations of the ballooned part.
When you're done ballooning, you can export ballooned drawings and inspection characteristics specific to each operation. In addition, if you’re using DISCUS Planner for process planning, you can export the entire package – work instructions, process illustrations, and inspection characteristics – to a richly formatted process plan.
The primary output from DISCUS Planner is a structured and fully completed set of manufacturing planning documentation. This includes a summary routing – and for each operation – the work instructions, inspection sheets, and process illustrations. In addition to these primary features, DISCUS Planner automatically generates an operations analysis for the user to indicate characteristics where-used and “delta” values by operation. This helps to reduce errors by ensuring that all characteristics are addressed during the specific manufacturing steps. The use of DISCUS Planner has reduced the time involved in creating manufacturing planning documentation by upwards of 50%.

Hazardous location protection methods e book by pepperl+ fuchsKristen_Barbour_PF
Hazardous Location Protection Methods Explained.
By definition, a hazardous (classified) location is an area in an industrial complex where the atmosphere contains flammable concentrations of gases or vapors by leakage, or ignitable concentrations of dust or fibers by suspension or dispersion.
The treatment of dangerous substances, where the risk of explosion or fire exists that can be caused by an electrical spark, arc, or hot temperatures, requires specifically defined instrumentation located in a hazardous location. It also requires that interfacing signals coming from a hazardous location be unable to create the necessary conditions to ignite and propagate an explosion.
