Dryers + combustible dust = major risk. Reduce probability and severity, and you reduce risk. Reducing risk means preventing fires and explosions. Utilize Temperature and Spark Sensors; Spark Extinguishment, Deluge, and explosion vents minimum. Thus reducing probability and severity of embers, fires, and explosions. Additionally, enforce hot work, lockout - tagout procedures, testing, maintenance, housekeeping, and proper sequencing and interlocking, and you will prevent most all severe events. And if employees wear personal protective gear and cloting, they can prevent serious injury.
