OSHA Dust Explosion Inspection Preparatory Training – One-Day Training Course
 
The present National Emphasis Program of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) (Directive No. CPL 03-00-008. March 11, 2008) is concerned with combustible dusts and was prompted by three disastrous explosions in 2003, including one explosion that involved aluminum dust. This NEP began on October 18, 2007, and required Federal OSHA offices to begin targeted inspections of sites that process, handle, or otherwise generate combustible dusts. State plan participation in the program was strongly encouraged but not required. Nevertheless the state-plan states, in general, seem to be onboard and are conducting these targeted inspections along with their Federal counterparts.

Chemical Reaction Hazards and the Risk of Thermal Runaway – One-Day Training Course
 
Chemical reactions can be extremely hazardous if they are not thoroughly understood and controlled. When intentional or unintentional reactions get out of control, they can result in fires, explosion, or release of toxic fumes or gases.
 
The course presents the ‘current best practice’ in the field making use of extensive case studies to illustrate the many of key points in the field. Delegates will participate in workshops emphasizing critical areas of the subject. We will also consider peripheral areas of reactivechemical hazards such as safe powder drying and the ignition of flammable gases and vapors, giving a good background and understanding in the subjects.
