Dusting off danger: Tackling resistive dusts using a non-combustible anti-caking agent for optimal ignition sensitivity

If you handle a combustible dust for commercial purposes, a risk assessment must be carried out for your specific process, under DSEAR (UK) or ATEX (EU) legislation. This risk assessment should identify whether the formation of explosive dust clouds is possible, and if so, the likelihood of ignition and subsequent harm to personnel. The overall risk should be reduced where possible, by firstly minimising activities that could give rise to an explosive dust cloud and furthermore by controlling ignition sources. To control ignition sources there needs to be a firm understanding of the combustible dusts’ ignition sensitivity characteristics of which the minimum ignition energy is a key value.
