Combustible dust hazards are present in a wide range of industrial and manufacturing environments, yet many organizations underestimate the risks until a fire or explosion occurs. Understanding how combustible dust incidents develop—and what can be done to prevent them—is critical for protecting employees, facilities, and operations.

In this webinar, attendees will gain a foundational understanding of combustible dust hazards, including the conditions that lead to fires and explosions, common ignition sources, and high-risk processes found throughout industry. The session will also explore proven prevention and mitigation strategies, such as housekeeping practices, ventilation systems, engineering controls, and Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) programs. Through real-world examples and practical guidance, participants will leave with actionable steps to strengthen combustible dust safety, improve compliance efforts, and reduce operational risk.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the five elements of the combustible dust explosion pentagon and explain how each contributes to a dust fire or explosion event.
• Recognize common combustible dust hazards, ignition sources, and high-risk operations found in industrial and manufacturing environments.
• Describe effective combustible dust prevention and mitigation strategies, including housekeeping, engineering controls, ventilation, and Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) practices.
• Differentiate between primary and secondary dust explosions and explain why secondary explosions are often more catastrophic.
