On-Demand Webinar: Basis of Safety for Flammable Dusts
A practical approach to selecting and applying the right control strategy for flammable dusts
10:00 AM (EST) Wednesday, November 12, 2025
The Basis of Safety doesn’t just define worst-case scenarios, safety objectives, control measures, and safe operating limits – it gives teams clarity and confidence. By focusing on the elements that prevent catastrophic events, Basis of Safety helps direct resources where they have the greatest impact. This approach reduces downtime, protects people and assets, improves reliability, and reinforces trust across your organization and with regulators.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how to select the most effective Basis of Safety for your plant and unit operations, empowering you to make informed, compliant, and cost-effective safety decisions. Drawing on key standards from both the US and UK, we will explore how explosion prevention, ignition source avoidance, and explosion protection can be applied to develop a customized Basis of Safety for flammable dusts. By the end, you’ll have a clearer view of how to reduce dust-explosion risk, strengthen operational performance, and build long-term resilience into your systems and processes.
Webinar Takeaways:
- The relationship between flammable dust properties and what insights can be gained from testing
How risk assessments support the identification and implementation of mitigation measures
Strategies to achieve effective explosion protection and isolation, informed by testing and risk assessment.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is ideal for:
- Process safety and risk engineers
- Combustible dust hazard program leads
- Plant and operations managers
- Maintenance and reliability teams
- EHS and safety professionals
- Project and design engineers
- Laboratory and material testing managers
Whether you are developing new systems, updating procedures, onboarding new materials or suppliers, or reviewing dust explosion safeguards, this session will help you establish a clear and defensible Basis of Safety grounded in process safety engineering and material science.
