How to Make Your DHA Make a Difference

The first true deadline for conducting Dust Hazard Analyses (DHA) has come and gone. But what has been learned, and how can I use the DHA to make a difference in safety? Successful strategies have been developed to fully utilize the lessons from a DHA to reduce the risks of Combustible Dust fires and explosions. Using the lessons already learned by others can reduce the resources required and increase the efficiency with which the recommendations are resolved.

This presentation will describe how to utilize the outcomes of a Dust Hazard Analysis to successfully improve the safety and management of your combustible dust process. Topics to be covered include:

1. Prioritizing recommendations to address the highest risks first, balanced with achieving the largest risk reduction in the shortest amount of time
2. Developing pragmatic solutions to resolving DHA recommendations and reducing risk
3. The use of interim solutions
4. Solving problematic issues common in combustible dust processes
5. Documentation and management to prepare for your 5-year DHA Revalidation
