Combustible Dust Prevention Guidebook
The Manufacturing Safety Alliance of BC is proud to introduce the Combustible Dust Prevention Guide, a source of guidance to an organization in implementing an combustible dust program at their workplace.
This Combustible Dust Prevention Guide, produced by the Manufacturing Safety Alliance of BC, has been developed to provide practical information for determining if a combustible dust hazard is present and how to deal with that hazard. This guide was developed in consideration of WorkSafeBC’s OHS regulations 4.46 to 4.53 which covers the risk factors, identification by assessment and controls to be put in place.

Combustible Dust Assessment
Companies can hire the Alliance to produce a combustible dust hazard assessment report and management plan for their facility.
STEP 1: Scoping meeting
First things first, we want to find out your risk level! We call this the scoping meeting. During this step, an advisor will come out to your facility to determine if you have a combination of conditions that put you at risk.
STEP 2: The proposal
If an assessment is needed, the program administrator will send you a service proposal. This will outline the costs and deliverables based on the findings
from the scoping meeting. Once this proposal is signed and returned, we can book a date for your service(s).
STEP 3: The deliverables
Our specialist advisor will complete the services agreed to in the proposal which generally includes the production an assessment report and management plan for your records. Awareness training for employees may also be recommended in order to satisfy regulatory requirements.
