Webinar: The Elements of an Effective Dust Hazards Analysis (DHA)

When performed correctly, a Dust Hazards Analysis (DHA) identifies complex combustible dust hazards and provides techniques to mitigate these hazards. Unfortunately, all DHAs are not created equal and serious hazards are often overlooked. This webinar will discuss the minimum requirements for any DHA, the importance of qualified individuals and common overlooked hazards.

This webinar will discuss the minimum requirements any DHA should meet, regardless of the types of varying factors (e.g., process equipment, building compartment configuration, types of combustible dusts, etc.). Some of the most common inadequately identified or missed hazards often seen during DHAs will also be discussed. We’ll review the combustible dust hazards documented during several DHAs and OSHA compliance inspections from the viewpoint of a former OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officer (CSHO). This webinar will also review how OSHA standards relate to the DHA requirements prescribed in NFPA 652 and other NFPA combustible dust standards.
