Combustible Dust Explosions and Fires-ATEX

Welcome Aboard the Combustible Dust Policy Institute site! In 2012, a preliminary analysis of 2011 NFIRS data indicated 500+ combustible dust related fires and explosions in many sectors throughout the United States with the majority of incidents "near misses." The primary goal of this site concerning the complex subject of combustible dust is to bring forth a situational awareness to global stakeholders, which hopefully will lessen the occurrence and reduce the severity of future accidents.

Case Study on All-Feed Processing and Packaging

Let's do a case study on All-Feed Processing and Packaging Inc as it relates to new growing and changing OSHA standards

Galva Illinois Production Plant

First focus - "if it can happen to me it can / will happen to you" which of the regulations are common to us all.

Second focus - what is the chance for compliance and what would TOTAL compliance look like.

Join in on the discussion in the Combustible Dust Policy Institute group.

OSHA News Release-$500,000 in fines against All-Feed
All-Feed OSHA Citations

Note:

For the record, the Citations posted are from an inspection that started on 07/2008 and ended 01/2009. They have since re-inspected All-Feed again which is referenced in "OSHA News Release-$500,000 in fines against All-Feed " the results of which have not been posted on the OSHA website (this inspection ended on 10/02/2009).

Both inspections lasted just shy of 6 months.
