Grain, sugar, flour, coal, wood and metal dusts can explode with devastating force when they accumulate and find an ignition source, a hazard that many operators underestimate. This course explains how dust explosions happen and how to prevent them through housekeeping, ignition control and explosion protection. Examples draw on mills, silos, food processing plants and mineral operations common across Southern and East Africa.
