June 23, 2026 | 11:00–11:30 AM ET
Live session with Q&A
Live session with Q&A
Build on the fundamentals by understanding where combustible dust hazards exist and how they are identified in real operations.
Once you understand how combustible dust hazards develop, the next step is knowing where they exist.
In many facilities, these hazards are built into equipment, processes, and materials, which makes them easy to overlook without a structured approach.
This session is designed to help you identify where combustible dust hazards exist and how they are evaluated.
What You Will Learn
In this 30-minute session, you will learn:
About This Session
As Level 2 of a four-part series, this session focuses on hazard identification and introduces the role of a Dust Hazard Analysis. It builds directly on the fundamentals covered in Part 1 and prepares you for the next sessions, where we will focus on controls and long-term performance.
