Three out of the four deadliest accidents investigated by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board were combustible dust explosions. In 2008, OSHA reissued its Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program and a revised NFPA 654 (dust standard) was recently rejected by NFPA. This session will bring you up to date on these initiatives as well as present a case study of a dust explosion.
