Combustible Dust Safety Self-Assessment

Operating a biomass pyrolysis facility? Use this 25-point checklist to evaluate your current dust explosion prevention controls.

This self-assessment covers the hierarchy of controls—from elimination and substitution through to engineering and administrative measures—helping you identify potential gaps in your safety program.

This is a screening tool only. It provides an initial indication of your risk level and helps you determine next steps. It does not replace a professional Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) or formal compliance assessment.

Use this checklist to:

  • Identify immediate priorities for your facility
  • Start informed conversations with your safety team
  • Determine whether expert consultation is recommended
