Apply revised and expanded requirements based on those applicable to dust hazard processes drawn from NFPA 654 Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing, and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids. You'll address the hazards resulting from the processing and handling of sulfur in all its various forms.
· Find information for the first time in new Chapter 7, Fugitive Dust Control and Housekeeping; Chapter 8, Training and Procedures; and Chapter 9, Inspection and Maintenance.
· Reference completely restructured sulfur dust requirements in a single chapter on handling solid sulfur in bulk (information formerly presented in Chapters 4 and 5 dealing with finely divided and coarse dusts).
· Work with new and updated definitions that are essential to characterizing dust hazards. All definitions were reviewed to correlate with the NFPA Glossary of Terms.
