The NFPA Standard on Explosive Protection by Deflagration Venting (NFPA 68) requires companies that produce combustible dusts to have explosion control equipment associated with their dust collection system and an inspection and remediation plan in place to mitigate the hazard of a dust explosion and fire. OSHA’s National Emphasis Program (NEP) enforces the standard, handing out stiff fines for violations. In short, dust in your facility is nothing to sneeze at.
