A combustible dust is any material (finely divided solid particles) that has the ability disperse in air and catch fire and explode when exposed to an ignition source. Combustible dust may include materials that are in the physical states of powders, flakes, fines, fibers, etc. Combustible dusts can include:
lode when exposed to an ignition source. Combustible dust may include materials that are in the physical state. Combustible dusts can include: most solid organic materials (such as sugar, flour, grain, wood, etc.) carbonaceous materials (e.g., charcoal, soot) e fibres (e.g., cotton)many metals,
Combustible dust: This class is used to warn of products that are finely divided solid particles. If dispersed in air, the particles may catch fire or explode if ignited. Simple asphyxiants: These products are gases that may displace oxygen in the air and cause rapid suffocation. Physical hazards not otherwise classified
Eliminate explosive atmospheres (e.g., vapours or combustible dust) or do not allow hot work. Shut down any process that produces combustible atmospheres, and continuously monitor the area for accumulation of combustible gases before, during, and after hot work. If possible, schedule hot work during shutdown periods.

Combustible dusts – hazardous products classified in this hazard class may form combustible dust concentrations in air. These products are in the form of finely divided solid particles that, upon ignition, are liable to catch fire or explode when dispersed in air. Combustible liquids –a term used under WHMIS 1988.
oduct is (that is, the severity of hazard).Category 1 is always the greatest level of hazard (that is, t is the most hazardous within that class). If Category 1 is further divided, Category 1A within the same hazard. class is a greater hazard than category 1B.Category 2 within the same hazard class i. more hazardous than category 3, and so.

wood dust may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Workers may also experience shortness of breath, dryness and sore throat, conjunctivitis (inflammation of the mucou. membranes of the eye), and rhinitis (runny nose).Dermatitis is com. on and may be caused by the chemicals in the wood. For dermatiti. , the skin may become red, itchy, dry, or bli.

WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) helps identify the hazards of products like chemical and infectious agents. WHMIS groups products with similar properties or hazards into classes.
