What is a DHA?
“A DHA is a careful review of the fire and explosion hazards to determine the consequences of what could go wrong and to determine what safeguards could be implemented to prevent or mitigate those consequences.” NFPA 652 (2019) 7.1.1.3

 

Why should I care about NFPA 652 and DHAs? 

  • Protect workers from a combustible dust hazards
  • Avoid fines imposed by OSHA
  • Protect integrity and customer confidence of business
  • Satisfy local AHJ and insurance requirements
  • Safeguard processing equipment and business continuity
  • Identify life-saving preventative and mitigation strategies
  • Meet current NFPA combustible dust standards
“The owner/operator of a facility where materials are determined to be combustible or explosible…and are present in an enclosure shall be responsible to ensure a DHA is completed…” NFPA 652 (2019) 7.1.2
