Data protection declaration Legal notices. The standard ensures that fundamental requirements are addressed consistently across industries, processes, and dust types. It consists of an assessment of materials and processes, an analysis of the hazards posed by these materials and processes and a hazard management plan.
Our senior process safety specialists are uniquely qualified to assess the hazards, evaluate the adequacy of existing controls, and to propose practical measures for ensuring safety of people, facility, and the community. This includes the identification of possible fire and explosion scenarios and the evaluation of existing or proposed hazard-mitigation systems and equipment. We are confident that our well-tried disciplined approach will empower our clients to attain the required life-safety and business continuation objectives and requirements.
Full compliance with the requirements of NFPA Identification of possible fire and explosion scenarios Evaluation of existing or proposed hazard-mitigation systems and equipment Establishing Safety Management Systems. We provide all the services necessary for a Dust Hazard Analysis as required by NFPA , beginning with the identification, testing and classification of particulate solids and dusts, and concluding with a ready-to-implement safety management system.
Our NFPA compliance-related services include:. Hazard Identification: Our experts identify potential locations and situations conducive to fire, flash-fire, and explosion hazards involving fine particulate solids and dusts. Laboratory Testing: We collect representative dust samples from appropriate locations using acceptable methodologies to preserve the properties of the sample which is then tested for appropriate and necessary ignition sensitivity and explosive properties in our accredited laboratories in accordance with applicable test standards.
DHA is a systematic review to identify and evaluate potential fire, flash fire, and explosion hazards associated with the presence of combustible particulate solid s in a process or facility. DHA must be conducted by one of our experts with demonstrated ability to deal with hazards related to processing and managing combustible particulate solids. If the prescribed approaches of NFA for the management of combustible dust hazards are found to be impractical then a documented risk assessment shall be permitted to be conducted in accordance with life safety requirements.
We possess accredited laboratory testing facilities and a world-class team of senior process safety specialists with extensive applicable expertise. We provide our clients with process safety specialists that are uniquely qualified to assess the hazards, evaluate the adequacy of existing controls.
We are uniquely positioned to help our clients be in complete, effective, and sustainable compliance with all the requirements of NFPA We have collected some frequently asked questions and answers about NFPA and its requirements. Please contact us for more information!
A: Its intent is to provide general requirements for the management of combustible dust fire and explosion hazards and to direct the user to appropriate NFPA industry or commodity-specific standards. Additionally, it establishes relationships and hierarchies with industry or commodity-specific standards to ensure that fundamental requirements are addressed consistently across industries, processes, and dust types.
We will be happy to prepare a test plan that is based on your type of powder, operations, and process equipment. A: The next step towards compliance with NFPA requirements is to complete the Dust Hazard Analysis DHA and identify areas of the process where materials could form ignitable dust suspensions or dust layers and access ignition sources.
