Prevent Explosions and Protect Workers With Expert Combustible Dust Risk Management

Combustible dust presents a serious hazard in many industrial operations. When fine particles disperse and ignite, the result can be catastrophic explosions that endanger workers, damage facilities, and disrupt operations. We help organizations identify, evaluate, and mitigate combustible dust risks through Dust Hazard Analyses, NFPA compliance support, and prevention and mitigation strategies. With deep expertise in process safety and explosion hazards, our team delivers practical solutions to safeguard people, facilities, and communities.

Our Combustible Dust Risk Management Services

See how our combustible dust services reduce explosion risks, support NFPA compliance, and strengthen workplace safety.

We conduct and facilitate DHAs required under NFPA standards, helping clients identify hazards and implement corrective actions.

Our experts interpret and apply NFPA combustible dust standards (652, 654, 61, 664, 484, and others) to ensure compliance with regulatory expectations.

We perform dust sample testing, analyze results, and interpret findings to determine explosivity and potential risk factors.

We recommend explosion prevention and mitigation measures, such as venting, suppression, and isolation systems, and provide vendor selection support.

We help clients understand how evolving NFPA standards – including the forthcoming NFPA 660 – apply to their operations and facilities.

Combustible Dust Risk Management FAQs

Combustible dust consists of fine particles that, when dispersed in the air at sufficient concentrations and confined, can ignite and cause an explosion.

Uncontrolled combustible dust can lead to catastrophic explosions, resulting in injuries, fatalities, facility damage, regulatory fines, and business disruption.

NFPA has developed multiple standards (e.g., NFPA 652, 654, 61, 664, 484), which will be consolidated into NFPA 660 in 2025. OSHA also enforces dust safety under its Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program.

Yes. NFPA requires DHAs for applicable industries, with deadlines already in effect, to identify and mitigate combustible dust risks.

Not directly. While combustible dust isn’t regulated under OSHA’s PSM rule, NFPA standards outline requirements similar to PSM elements, making DHAs essential for compliance and safety.
