Combustible Dust 301: Controls, Housekeeping, and Protection Strategies

Learn how facilities reduce combustible dust risks through practical controls, housekeeping, and mitigation strategies.

Once combustible dust hazards are identified, the next challenge is controlling them. In many facilities, combustible dust risks are tied to everyday operational realities such as dust collection, fugitive dust accumulations, equipment limitations, housekeeping practices, and ignition source management.

This session is designed to help you understand how organizations manage combustible dust hazards in real operating environments and where many facilities struggle after a Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA).

In this 30-minute session, you will learn:

• Why dust collectors are involved in many combustible dust incidents
• How housekeeping and fugitive dust control reduce risk
• Common combustible dust control gaps found in facilities
• The difference between prescriptive and performance-based approaches
• How facilities prioritize DHA recommendations and mitigation efforts
• Practical strategies organizations use when budgets and resources are constrained

About This Session

As Level 3 of a four-part series, this session focuses on combustible dust controls, housekeeping, and protection strategies. It builds directly on the hazard identification concepts introduced in Part 2 and prepares you for the final session focused on long-term program performance and fire/building code considerations.
