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.
