Combustible dust is a hidden and insidious menace. Created during the normal course of production, combustible dust lurks in corners and crevices, within equipment and vents, on floors and other surfaces, and in the very air in which we work. A combustible dust explosion can cause immediate and catastrophic loss of life, injuries, and destruction of buildings and equipment. The ensuing fires, secondary explosions, flying debris, and collapsing structural components pose additional threats to both people and property. This course will acquaint you with the risks, controls, safe work practices, and proper procedures involved in dealing with this workplace hazard.
