From Compliance to Prevention: Changes to BC’s OHS Regulations on Combustible Dust
If your operations create dust, the new WorkSafeBC updates to combustible regulations could impact you!
Combustible dust is any fine material that can catch fire and explode. Dust from many materials is combustible—including grains, flour, sugar, cornstarch, wood, metals, textiles, and plastics. Given the proper conditions, dust even from materials that do not burn in other forms (i.e. aluminum or iron) can ignite.
The changes to the combustible dust regulations will require employers to take on a broader responsibility to ensure you have adequate health and safety programs in place to manage combustible dust.
