Combustible dusts can pose a fire and explosion hazard when specific conditions exist. Awareness of these conditions is the first step towards establishing a combustible dust hazard process management program. During the Orlando conference, Guy Colonna’s, manager of NFPA’s Industrial Chemical Engineering division, presented a three-part educational session on hazard recognition, the evaluation and analysis of a potentional explosion situation, and steps to take to minimize or eliminate a fire or explosion incident.
