Preventing and Mitigating Combustible Dust Fires and Explosions

DID YOU KNOW?

In the last 25 years, combustible dust fires in the U.S. have killed at least 119 employees and injured another 718. Sixty-four industries are either high risk or have potential for combustible dust explosions? Click here to find out what industries are at highest risk.

NFPA states that "any industrial process that reduces a combustible material and some normally noncombustible materials to a finely divided state presents a potential for a serious fire or explosion." Click here to see what types of materials can create a combustible dust hazard.

Does your company generate or handle combustible dusts? Do you want to learn how to prevent a combustible dust explosion from occurring at your facility? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you are invited to attend a no-cost Combustible Dust Safety Training.

Under a special grant from OSHA’s Susan Harwood Program, the Georgia Tech Research Institute is offering a no-cost 1-day course to clearly inform students about how to prevent and mitigate the risks of combustible dust in affected industries.
