OSHA: Combustible Dust Hazard

Combustible dusts are fine particles that present an explosion hazard when suspended in air in certain conditions.  A dust explosion can be catastrophic and cause employee deaths, injuries, and destruction of entire buildings. In many combustible dust incidents, employers and employees were unaware that a hazard even existed. It is important to determine if your company has this hazard, and if you do, you must take action now to prevent tragic consequences.
