Terminal Objectives Upon the successful completion of this module, participants will be able to explain methods organizations may use to reinforce combustible dust safety.

Enabling Objectives • Discuss four organizational support systems. • Explain how a documentation system may be used to support safety efforts.

Plant Personnel Support • Properly train personnel for any hazardous environment • Training • Specific topics related to combustible dust • Use of MSDS • Incident response • Review/refresh on periodic basis

Management Support System • Key in successful combustible dust program • Training efforts • Safety efforts • Ensures proper/regular cleaning

Engineering Support System • Prevention/mitigation of combustible dust explosions • Design phase • Access to hidden areas • Dust producing areas separated/blast proof • Use of intrinsically safe/explosion proof devices

Engineering Support System • Damage control • Evaluate level of pressure resistance • Relief/venting in dust areas • Pressure relief valve placement • Detection systems • Extinguishing systems

Operations Support System • Good housekeeping • Report/maintenance of malfunctioning equipment • Elimination of ignition sources

Maintenance Support System • Regular inspection/maintenance • Prompt/proper maintenance • Documentation of equipment • Ensure use of approved parts/equipment

Documentation System • Maintain documentation • Allows for program review • Allows for employee participation • Provides data backup • Easy retrieval
