2020 Update on NFPA Stan-
dards for Combustible Dusts and
Explosion Prevention. August 11.
Free webinar. Hosted by Powder and
Bulk Engineering magazine. NFPA,
in response to OSHA's empha-
sis on enforcement, has been in
an ongoing process of modifying
NFPA 652 and the commodity-
specific standards (61, 484, 654,
and 664) to make them consistent
and reasonable. Communication
of these requirements and how
NFPA 652 relates to the other com-
modity-specific combustible dust
standards still isn't clear to most of
the industry. Webinar will clarify
this relationship and emphasize the
most important — and common
— areas of combustible dust stan-
dard compliance. Presented by Jack
Osborn, Airdusco Engineering and
Design Services LLC. Contact Sarah
Highum (education@cscpub.com,
