Fabricated Metal Producing Manufacturing/NAICS 332999 facility in Wisconsin. These type of facilities are listed in Appendix D-2 of the OSHA ComDust NEP as Fabricated Metal Products, Not Elsewhere Classified with industries that may have Potential for Combustible Dust Explosions/Fires. According to the news account: The fire was extinguished and contained to the dust collector bag house. There was no fire extension into manufacturing plant. WQOW.Com The incident begs the question was this a confined structure fire? Where as in similiar small fire incidents that are limited in scope, are confined to noncombustible containers, rarely result in serious injury or large content losses, and are expected to have no accompanying property losses due to flame damage. The news account mentions no fire extension into manufacturing plant nor injuries which resulted in an estimated $10,000 damage to dust collection bag house. Since dust collectors are constructed of metal they would be non-combustible. In the U.S. Fire Administration/National Fire Data Center, Investigation of Confined Structure Fires, Topical Fire Research Series, the report noted 2002 NFIRS 5.0 data contain abbreviated reporting for slightly over 52,000 confined structure fire incidents—37% of structure fires.These incidents accounted for $26 million in combined losses, 3 deaths, and nearly 500 injuries. Most confined structure fires (77.5%) occurred on residential properties. It is the other 23% that we are concerned about in manufacturing non-residential properties. There is a problem in this US Fire Administration reporting in that it does not formally consider dust collectors or other process equipment in the manufacturing sector that are non-combustible as confined structure fires. Instead, cooking fires, trash or rubbish fires, chimney fires, commercial compactor, fuel burners, and incinerators are used as data element descriptors in these type of fires. This does present a problem since fire service professionals can't identify combustible dust fire hazards in the NFIRS 5.0 reporting system, then how can they assist stakeholders in evaluating and controlling combustible dust fire hazards. All combustible dust related fires are failed catastrophic combustible dust explosions. Time is way overdue for the FEMA/US Fire Administration's National Fire Data Center to review their fire reporting methodology that omits the dozens of minor combustible dust related fires that have a history of evolving into catastrophic dust explosions.combustible,dust,fires,explosions,OSHAJust prior to the Christmas holiday a minor combustible dust related fire occurred in a dust collector at a Normal 0 false false false ...<br/> <br/> A global informational and educational resource for ATEX-Combustible Dust Related Explosions and Fires.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?a=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?a=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:dnMXMwOfBR0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?d=dnMXMwOfBR0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?a=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?a=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:l6gmwiTKsz0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?d=l6gmwiTKsz0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?a=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?i=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?a=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:TzevzKxY174"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?d=TzevzKxY174" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?a=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?i=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?a=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?i=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?a=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:YwkR-u9nhCs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?d=YwkR-u9nhCs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?a=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?a=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?a=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires?i=BodAhgI9yWc:mwkIFBoyTwM:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires/~4/BodAhgI9yWc" height="1" width="1"/>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/http://dustexplosions.blogspot.com/2011/01/confined-structure-fires-also.htmlhttp://www.usfa.dhs.gov/downloads/pdf/tfrs/v5i8.pdfhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CombustibleDustExplosionsAndFires/~3/TWMqN5r4oiM/combustible-dust-laboratory-testing.htmlMichael WardDSEARU.KExplosion Hazard TestingATEXjohn@combustibledust.com (John Astad)Sat, 15 Jan 2011 05:27:47 PSTtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874081452734583083.post-48545800671767583932011-01-15T07:27:47.150-06:001noPotential combustible dust fires and explosions in the manufacturing, non-manufacturing, and utility sectors is a global problem. Across international borders the occupational safety regulatory standards for addressing combustible dust fire and explosion John AstadPotential combustible dust fires and explosions in the manufacturing, non-manufacturing, and utility sectors is a global problem. Across international borders the occupational safety regulatory standards for addressing combustible dust fire and explosion hazards varies. In contrast, the laboratory equipment in evaluating the hazard for ignition sensitivity and explosion severity is uniform with minor differences in methodology. For example, the 20 liter sphere is utilized worldwide in obtaining vital information on the maximum pressure and deflagration index (Kst) of combustible dust. An excellent depiction of a dust explosion shown in the high speed video, shot at 600 frames per second, with 1 gram of custard powder dispersed in a glass tube past a hot coil ignition source. The glass tube has a volume of 1.2 litres, providing an explosive dust concentration of approximately 830 g/m3. Notice how the explosion pressure wave drives the dust ahead of it and out of the tube and debris from the explosion - mostly pieces of unburnt powder - continue to fall for some time afterwards. The second video sequence shows the same quantity of custard powder being ignited, but viewed from above. Note the thin plastic film held across the tube opening that acts as an explosion relief vent. The catastrophic Imperial Sugar Refinery dust explosion in 2008 reminded global stakeholders how devastating industrial dust explosions can be. Measuring the explosive properties of the material being handled is, of course, the essential first step to understanding the hazard. Michael Ward of Explosion Hazard Testing in the U.K. has written an educational and very useful guide to explain combustible dust testing and what the lab results tell us in terms of explosion prevention and protection options. The main points that the guide discusses: UK statistics for fire and explosion What a dust explosion is and the terminology involved What laboratory tests are available and how they are conducted What they tell us about the fire and explosive properties of the material What tests are considered mandatory under U.K. and and EU legislation The dust testing guide can be downloaded for free herecombustible,dust,fires,explosions,OSHAPotential combustible dust fires and explosions in the manufacturing, non-manufacturing, and utility sectors is a global problem.

In both catastrophic incidents fatalities occurred at corrugated packaging manufactJohn AstadTwo strikingly similiar pictures, two different countries, yet the explosive effects in these storage tanks were basically the same in the liquor pulping recovery process. In both catastrophic incidents fatalities occurred at corrugated packaging manufacturing facilities. The incident in France happened this month and the other in Wisconsin back in 2008, which the Chemical Safety Board is currently investigating. As a result of the Wisconsin incident CSB issued a March 2010 Safety Bulletin on Hazards of Welding and other Hot Work. Christian Bourdon, the contract worker from Saint-Aubin, France died unnecessarily in the hospital as a result of injuries sustained from the explosion while doing hot work on the storage tank. Don't know if Christian or others in the global workforce had a chance to read the educational CSB bulletin. Incident investigations determining root cause and safety bulletins are great if the information is being received by OHS professionals then passed on to the workforce. Yet it is difficult to understand why repeatable catastrophic incidents are occurring when information is abundant concerning the hazards. Providing examples of these two incidents is even harder to grasp since the manufacturing and storage process were the same. It is unacceptable that life-saving information resides securely within national borders when occupational health and safety is a global concern.

facility is identified in the OSHA Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program NEP) for targeted inspections. Here are a few helpful steps to assist in obtaining the NAICS six digit designation then comparing with the NAICS in Appendix D-1 and D-2 of the OSHA ComDust NEP. Step 1 Go to the OSHA Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) database and type the facility name in the Establishment Search Here is an example of a facility already entered in IMIS: Hoeganaes Corp Gallatin, TN SIC: 3399/Primary Metal Products, Not Elsewhere Classified NAICS: 331111/Iron and Steel Mills If the OSHA IMIS search does not populate a facility then an alternative would be to use the EPA Envirofacts search tool Acquiring a NAICS at times can be frustrating and very time consuming since the above search methods will not always be successful. If the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is known, that will assist in determining the NAICS. For example type the SIC in the Google search box. Google Search: SIC: 3399 The first hit at the top of the web page should be the Reference for Business website where the NAICS are found. Step 2 Once the facility NAICS is obtained the next step is comparing the NAICS six digit designation with the NAICS in Appendix D-1 and D-2 of the OSHA ComDust NEP Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program (Reissued) Page 35-37 D-1 and D-2 (html version) OSHA ComDust NEP Next time you read a news account of a combustible dust related fire or explosion use the above exercise to determine if the facility is recognized in the OSHA NEP for targeted inspections. Don’t be surprised if the NAICS is not specified in D-1 or D-2 of the ComDust NEP. There are many elements in the NEP that have successfully educated stakeholders in identifying, evaluating, and controlling the hazard. Yet when fatalities and serious injuries occur in NAICS not recognized in the NEP this presents a serious problem. One more fatality or injury as a result of a workplace combustible dust related fire or explosion is not acceptable. The workplace is reaching a point of, “Occupy Combustible Dust Fires and Explosions.”Update: NAICS Exercise: Chocolate and Confectionery Manufacturing from Cacao Beans January 29, 2012 Workers burned at chocolate factory. Use steps above to determine if facility NAICS is recognized in OSHA Combustible Dust NEP.
