Assess Your Materials
Ensure fire and explosivity tests are conducted on your materials if you lack information about their potential explosive properties and associated hazards
Common hazards associated with metal production
Fire or explosion hazard caused by a pyrophoric reaction of very fine metal dust such as Titanium, Magnesium, Zirconium, etc
Dust cloud formation inside dust collectors, which could present a deflagration hazard
Dust cloud formation during the transfer of metal dust into bins, which could present a fire or flashfire hazard in the presence of credible ignition sources
Fire hazard due to thermite reaction, that is, collecting iron (III) oxide and aluminum in the same dust collector
Inadequate dust containment and housekeeping at metal processing areas such as sanders, routers, deburring, cutters, oxidation operation, melting, and shapers could present fire or flashfire hazards
