The Australian Bulk Handling Review (ABHR) and Australian Society for Bulk Solids Handling (ASBSH) are proud to host Dust Explosions 2012 May 29-30 in Penrith, NSW, Australia. Developed in consultation with respected Australasian and international experts, this event will examine industrial hazards, the means to control or eliminate dust and analyze the latest technology to ensure the maximum protection and safety of your organization. The event will also provide you with an overview of recent industrial case studies and new safety recommendations. http://www.informa.com.au/conferences/energy-utilities/engineering/dust-explosions
Key topics include:
INTERNATIONAL CASE STUDY: Avoiding catastrophe - Lessons from the Imperial Sugar Company explosion and fire
Understanding the harmonisation of Work Health and Safety regulations and the way it will impact how safety-critical industries do business
Considering the hazards – The ABC’s of combustibility risk in your workplace
Best practice in controlling dust - Good housekeeping as a means of reducing dust accumulation and the potential for cloud formation
Ignition Control
What are the design considerations for managing combustible dusts?
