What the New Requirement States - Owner/Operator must complete a Dust Hazard Analysis

The Owner/Operator is now responsible for determining whether the materials being processed in their facility are combustible or explosible through a Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) which must be completed within the guidelines of NFPA 652 Chapter 7. The DHA must be performed by a qualified party and all results documented. This DHA applies to existing and new processes as well as facility upgrades. As stated, "Owner/Operator must complete DHA reports by September 7, 2020."

​

What We'd Recommend

• If you haven't had a DHA yet and may have combustible dust, schedule one before 9/7/2020.

• If DHA report finds that there is enough combustible dust in air that is harmful, a dust collector may be needed.
