Explosive organic dusts combust similarly to each other, but each has its own characteristics. @FikeCorporation's Gilles Plourde shares some wood dust explosion suppression case studies: https://www.canadianbiomassmagazine.ca/explosion-suppression-case-studies/ #DustSafetyWeek #dust #combustibledust

From May-Sept. 1919, 4 grain elevators in 4 cities exploded in similar incidents, killing 70 people & injuring 60 more. Although this was over 100 years ago, the reasons why this happened are still relevant today: https://www.woodbusiness.ca/season-of-tragedy-the-grain-elevator-explosions-of-1919/ #DustSafetyWeek #dust @DustExResearch

When handling explosive dusts, mitigating the possibility of an explosion event is only one part of the equation. It’s equally important to plan for what will happen when an explosive incident takes place, not if it does: https://www.woodbusiness.ca/the-importance-of-blast-zones/ #DustSafetyWeek @VETSsince1921
