OSHA's New Combustible Dust Standard: A Look Into the Future

You may have read in one of our recent blog posts that OSHA has announced its upcoming regulatory agenda.
At the top of the list is the creation of a new Combustible Dust Standard. That's literally true--it's the first item on OSHA's list. But it's probably also metaphorically true for a lot of you--the creation of a brand new standard with potentially far-reaching effects is going to interest a lot of you.




So, we thought we'd give you the the skinny on OSHA and combustible dusts, providing some background, some places to look for information, and some hints about what OSHA may be up to.
Buckle your seat belt, we've got a lot of ground to cover. (We probably should have followed the naming convention of our earlier post on the 2012 HazCom alignment with GHS and titled this post "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Combustible Dusts But Were Afraid to Ask.")
