LONDON, ONTARIO, CANADA, November 9, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Combustible Dust Incident Report for the Year 2022, Download here: https://go.dustsafetyscience.com/2022IR-6

The latest insights into Combustible Dust safety, Combustible Dust Explosions, and Combustible Dust knowledge, are covered in detail, with The Combustible Dust Incident Report for the Year 2022, and a detailed analysis of the materials, industries, and equipment involved.

In this new Combustible Dust Incident Report for the Year 2022, learn about:

1) Loss History, United States:

Loss history from combustible dust explosions in the United States over the last seven years is provided. This data has been collected in the incident database and reported in the 2016 to 2022 combustible dust incident reports.

2) What materials are most commonly involved in Combustible Dust Explosions and Combustible Dust Fires?

From the global incident data, food and wood products made up 73% of the fires and explosions recorded, but only 29% of the injuries and 10% of the fatalities. The largest-loss food product incident was a sugar dust explosion that killed two and injured nine more. Coal was the most deadly material, accounting for 31% of the injuries and 84% of this year’s fatalities, despite accounting for only 5% of the recorded incidents.

3) 2022 Global Loss Overview:

In 2022, one mine explosion and fire in Amasra, Turkey impacted the data more than any other incident, accounting for over 84% of the year’s fatalities.

4) What industries are most commonly involved in Combustible Dust Explosions and Combustible Dust Fires?

Wood processing, wood products, agricultural activity, and food production make up a large portion of the overall fire and explosion incidents. Since 2017 wood and wood products have ranged from 19% to 28% of the incidents, while agricultural activity and food production have ranged from 33% to 50%.

5) What Equipment is most commonly involved in Combustible Dust Explosions and Combustible Dust Fires?

In 2022, dust collectors demonstrated the highest percentage (24%) of combustible dust incidents with 40 fires and 10 explosions reported. Storage silos and dryers were the next biggest source of incidents, accounting for 21% each. Of the incidents with known equipment, dust collectors had the highest number of injuries and fatalities, followed closely by elevators/conveyors and storage silos. Dryers, which accounted for the highest portion of last year’s injuries, accounted for only four injuries in 2022.

6) Combustible Dust Incident-related OSHA Violations and Fines:

Inspections Resulting In Citations: 13

Total Initial Penalties: $1,052,255

Initial Penalty/Citation: $6,456

Total Citations: 163

Total Current Penalties: $638,269

Initial Penalty/Inspection: $45,750

*Information was collected from OSHA Data & Statistics by searching for “dust” within inspection details from citations made using the General Duty Clause

7) Additional Combustible Dust Explosion research is currently being completed:

Dust Safety Science is dedicated to providing you with the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on combustible dust explosions that occurred in the United States in 2023.
