COMBUSTIBLE DUST FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS CAN BE FATAL
The cost of repairing and replacing equipment, damage to buildings, increased insurance premiums, possible fines, down time and lost production all pale in comparison to the loss of a life. A stunning 146 people died this past August in an aluminum polishing plant in China. Of the workers that survived, how many sustained injuries that require months or even years of medical care? The combustible dust article in the MARCH/APRIL NFPA Journal '
CREDIBLE RISK' states; '
according to the CSB, between 2008 and 2012 50 combustible dust accidents resulted in 161 injuries and 29 fatalities.' We all play a part educating our customers about the dangers of combustible dust so they can asses their process and make an informed decision how best to handle the combustible dust they generate.
