Who can perform a dust hazard analysis?

A DHA should be performed or led by people competent in combustible-dust hazards, the relevant processes, and the current requirements being applied. A job title alone does not prove competence; evaluate documented experience, technical scope, testing support, deliverables, and professional responsibility for the work.

Relevant dust and process experience Named systems, scenarios, and deliverables Current standard and representative facility data

The source links below support the regulatory, standards-development, investigation, or test-characteristic context stated on this page. DustDHA does not reproduce paywalled standard text and does not turn general source material into a facility-specific engineering conclusion. Where a fact depends on the current NFPA 660 edition, use the official NFPA publication and record the edition reviewed.

Record the material form, process conditions, equipment and enclosure, current safeguards, authority having jurisdiction, and the evidence used. Separate verified facts from assumptions. If a decision affects life safety, explosion protection, code compliance, or a signed engineering deliverable, have a qualified professional evaluate the actual site rather than relying on this summary.
