CSB chief: Explosion in China shows combustible dust danger
Statement from Chairperson Rafael Moure-Eraso on the deadly consequences of combustible metal dust:
Friday’s reported metal dust explosion in Jiangsu, China, is another reminder of the tragic and deadly consequences of combustible dust accidents, a hazard with which the US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) is all too familiar. Just last month the CSB released its final report and safety video on the 2010 metal dust explosion and fire at the AL Solutions metal recycling facility in New Cumberland, West Virginia. This incident killed three workers and injured a fourth.
