Hazard Communication Guidance for Combustible Dusts

This document is intended to help manufacturers and importers of chemicals recognize the potential for dust explosions and to identify appropriate protective measures as part of their hazard determination under the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). This evaluation of hazards ensures that downstream employers and workers are provided MSDSs with complete and accurate information regarding dust explosion hazards, appropriate
information is included on labels, and that workers are properly trained regarding workplace combustible dust hazards. Adequate communication
of hazard information is essential to ensuring that both employers and workers are aware of dustrelated hazards and measures that can be taken to
prevent dust explosions.
