Combustible Dust Hazard Assessments
Identifying and Managing Combustible Dust Hazards Before They Become Incidents
Combustible dust is one of the most underestimated hazards in industrial environments. Across manufacturing, oil & gas, chemical processing, and related industries, the presence of fine particulate, whether recognized or not, creates conditions that demand structured hazard assessment and documented control strategies.
NFPA 652, 654, and a range of commodity-specific standards establish clear expectations, and regulatory scrutiny in this area continues to grow.
Dust Hazard Analysis and Audit Services Grounded in Your Facility's Reality
HSE Solutions conducts Dust Hazard Analyses (DHAs) in accordance with NFPA 652 and applicable commodity-specific standards, including NFPA 61, 664, and others relevant to your operation. Our consultants work directly with facility teams to understand your processes, materials, and equipment; producing findings that reflect actual site conditions rather than a generic checklist. The result is a defensible DHA that identifies real hazards, evaluates existing controls, and supports a clear path forward.
For facilities evaluating their current compliance posture, HSE Solutions also performs combustible dust audits and gap analyses. We measure existing practices against applicable NFPA requirements and provide prioritized, actionable recommendations. Where gaps require remediation, our team can support your facility through that process, from updated procedures to implementation guidance.
