Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA)
We conduct qualitative, systematic assessments of industrial facilities to identify and evaluate fire, flash‑fire, and explosion risks associated with combustible dust. Our DHA process includes a detailed review of your plant’s equipment, process flow, potential ignition sources, and dust accumulations. The result is a set of practical, code‑compliant safeguards designed to prevent industrial accidents and support full compliance with NFPA and other applicable standards.

Combustible Dust Testing
We assist with determining the combustibility and explosibility characteristics of your materials and help you decide which products to test, which tests to perform, and where to collect representative samples. We work directly with multiple testing laboratories to secure fair pricing and ensure you receive accurate, actionable results. After testing, we review and interpret the data to help you understand how your materials may pose hazards to employees and specific industrial processes. Common recommended tests include:
Go/No Go Test
Explosion Severity Test
Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE) Test
Minimum Explosive Concentration (MEC) Test
Employee Training
We offer tailored training seminars, lunch‑and‑learns, and on‑site workshops designed to meet your team’s specific educational needs. Training topics can be customized for operators, maintenance personnel, engineers, or management. Examples include:
Combustible dust hazard fundamentals
Identifying dust hazards and best practices
Hazard management & prevention
Explosion protection strategies and solutions
Hazardous area classification
