Combustible Dust Can Explode

(10 min.) Pneumatic conveying equipment and dust controlled exhaust systems that transport combustible particulate solids need to be protected from fire and dust explosions. When compressed air is mixed with dust, then you have additional fire and explosion hazards.

Topics included in this safety video are: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), understanding the problem (one of the best ways to prevent these explosions is to minimize dust accumulations), contributing factors behind combustible dust incidents include (workers and managers failed to recognize the serious nature of dust explosion hazards, facilities failed to conform to existing standards, procedures and training were inadequate, warning eventswere not identified and resolved, and dust collectors were inadequately designed or maintained).

Program comes with a CD-ROM of written materials, including test questions and answers. English title also includes PowerPoint presentation.
