Workshop Description:

Don't Wait for a Tragedy to Happen: Recognize the Hazards of "Dust Explosion" in Your Industry

Many are unaware that everyday materials such as flour, granulated sugar, coffee powder, wood dust, pharmaceutical chemicals, and fine metal powders can become highly sensitive explosives when dispersed in the air in enclosed spaces.

Dust Explosion is one of the most destructive industrial accidents, occurring rapidly and often resulting in fatal loss of worker lives and destruction of factory assets within seconds. Why can this happen? How can seemingly harmless dust trigger chain explosions?

In this 2-hour webinar, EBM Scientific & EBM Institute will thoroughly discuss the fundamentals of dust explosions using the Dust Pentagon concept (Explosion Triangle + Dispersion & Confinement). This webinar is specifically designed to provide initial awareness for industry practitioners to be able to detect potential latent hazards in their respective workplaces.

Webinar Agenda

• Introduction to Dust Explosion: Why can industrial dust explode? (Facts about global & national industrial accidents).

• The Dust Pentagon: Understanding the 5 essential elements that trigger dust explosions (Fuel, Oxidizer, Ignition, Dispersion, Confinement).

• Most Vulnerable Industries: Food, pharmaceuticals, wood, chemicals, power generation, and metal processing sectors.

• Early Hazard Detection: How to determine if the dust in your factory is classified as combustible dust or not.

• Initial Prevention Steps: Housekeeping control and mitigation of ignition sources.
