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.

Dust Collector Explosion Protection-Webinar

Tomorrow at 12:00 NOON (EST) Gary Johnson, an experienced industrial ventilation and process safety consultant will be presenting a two hour webinar on "Dust Collection: Dust Collector Explosion Protection/Prevention Options,"moderated by Robert Harkin, Associate Editor of Powder and Bulk Engineering.

After the webinar, attendees can e-mail questions and comments. Thats a great deal for $50. Especially since over 50% of combustible dust related fires and explosions in 2008, through media accounts, have occurred in the dust collector. Don't find out the hard way that the dust collector at your facility can possibly create some costly downtime without the proper preventative and mitigative fire/explosion control measures. This is a great way to start the new year out right.

In the meantime be sure to check out the multitude of educational resources that can be found online at Powder and Bulk Engineering. and Gary's website Workplace Exposure Solutions LLC
