Are you aware of the Dust Explosion Hazards in your facility?

I have written some blogs answering questions which I have received during training sessions or by email from our clients. Today I am sharing my experience related to the awareness level of manufacturing companies related to Dust Explosion. 

I made a recent visit as part of a non-profitable project to one of the most widely used Detergent and soap brands in India. As soon as I reached the gate of the plant, it was clear that I have entered a plant which hasn't been too serious about safe operations or safety of employees, as I could see the workers moving without any footwear leaving their feet marks in the raw materials spilled on the floor. There was so much dust and detergent in the air that I could taste detergent on my tongue till the next day of my visit.
