If your facility generates combustible dust or particulate solids, NFPA 652 says your Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) was due on September 7, 2020. DHAs must be done every five years to stay compliant.

Not sure if your plant generates combustible dust? It’s your responsibility to find out. Contact a lab to get your materials tested.
The DHA can be done by a qualified consultant or in-house team who knows the process. They will identify any fire, deflagration and explosion risks in the facility.
You must demonstrate an effort to correct the hazards identified by the DHA. That may mean changes in your plant layout, equipment or housekeeping procedures.
