Dust Collection Industry News
Combustible Dust Incident Report
Combustible Dust is a concern for all industries; A Dust Hazard Analysis is integral to determining combustible dust hazards present in your facility and can help shape a plan, create processes, and develop procedures to mitigate combustible dust explosions as part of your overall process safety protocols.

The 2019 Dust Incident Report covers awareness of combustible dust hazards. Since starting in 2016 they have recorded 632 fires and 243 explosions. Of these 875 incidents, 116 of them (13.2%) caused injury and 24 of them (2.7%) caused fatalities, resulting in 417 injuries and 45 deaths. This gives us our measuring stick, the tool we use to track our progress over time. However, as the famous words say ‘What got you here, won’t get you there’. And we need to do more to enable, facilitate and drive change in industries handling combustible dust.
Hand Portable Fire Extinguishers
These hand-portable fire extinguishers come in a variety of sizes. Larger models come equipped with a wall hook. They are all ruggedly built and come with a 6-year warranty.
