Dust Collection System Regulation Compliance

Dust collection systems are an essential part of industry today in ensuring worker safety, reducing machine maintenance and protecting the environment. Dust collection itself, can pose certain hazards and dust collection systems must be engineered to mitigate any possible hazards posed by combustible dust. Regulations including:

Combustible Dust Mitigation

A full and comprehensive set of Hazard Analysis and mitigation solutions for any environment and compliance with Health & Safety regulations. Construction Permit requirement advisement & walk-through for new facility builds or new process addition.
icon

Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA)

A Combustible Dust Hazard Analysis or Assessment (DHA) is a comprehensive look at your dust within the complete framework of your workplace, its operations and equipment.
icon

Dust Testing

AST Engineering offers independent laboratory testing to determine explosion severity and ignition sensitivity of collected dust samples.
