Dust explosions are not only dangerous but can also severely damage an industrial site or other workplace. However, the accidents that it can create can and must be avoided. Dust suppression<\/a> and avoiding dust explosions from causing destruction, injuries, or even deaths require employee awareness, the right housekeeping procedures, and the necessary BossTek equipment. To avoid potentially fatal explosions, combustible dust risks must be prevented and controlled systematically.<\/p>\n Combustible dust<\/a> is comprised of microscopic particles, the majority of which are invisible, and has potentially harmful effects. It is made when raw materials that burn, like wood, food, many chemicals, and light metals, are processed. Under the right conditions, the dust can explode. Many industries are impacted, and something needs to be done to stop accidents that hurt workers and damage buildings. These particles can build up on different surfaces in your work area, like roofs, ducts, dust collectors, drop ceilings, and even other tools.<\/p>\n The following tips for preventing dust explosions will assist you in putting in place an effective dust suppression system<\/a> and cutting-edge safety measures at your construction site.<\/p>\n Knowing which items you are working with potentially produce combustible dust is the first step in preventing a dust explosion. Research is necessary if you’re unsure whether the dust in your site is combustible. Start by reading the Material Safety Data Sheet<\/a> (MSDS) from OSHA and finding out if your large solid is combustible. Determine whether your product is an agricultural product, metal dust, carbonaceous dust, or plastic dust by consulting OSHA’s fact page on combustible dust. Finding out this information will help you choose the right equipment and use the right safety measures. Also, determine which construction processes are generating these potentially explosive substances. It is important to inform staff and outside contractors about the identified high-risk processes.<\/p>\nWhat is combustible dust?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
