Dust Collection/Explosion Venting/Valve

Schwelke, Eric

Hope you all are enjoying your Labor Day weekend.

Our dust collection system in our fabrication area has reached the end of its life and we are looking to replace the unit and all the ductwork. We were presented with a few different quotes and have been informed that we should test our “dust” for explosiveness. If it is, we have been advised to follow the NFPA/OSHA protocols to protect against such an incident happening. Of course, the explosion venting/valve system is more than twice the $$$ than the system without.

For those of you who do in-house fabrication, have you ever had your ‘dust’ tested? Also, have you ever been audited by OSHA regarding same?

Thanks,

Eric
