A combustible dust is a finely divided combustible particulate solid that presents a flash fire or explosion hazard when suspended in air. Particle Size and Moisture Content play a pivotal factor in explosibility
and ignition potential. Flash Fires and Dust Explosions present a
dangerous and seemingly unpredictable risk that puts employees and business assets in harms way. Statistics show that since 1980, Combustible Dust Incidents are responsible for at least 185 fatalities, more than 1,000 injuries, and extensive property damage to facilities.
