CONTINUING EDUCATION BULK SOLIDS HANDLING AND PROCESSING 2020 Update on NFPA Standards for Combustible Dusts and Explo- sion Prevention. August 11. Free webinar. Hosted by Powder and Bulk Engineering magazine. NFPA, in response to OSHA's emphasis 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. Commu- nication of these requirements and how NFPA 652 relates to the other commodity-specific combustible dust standards still isn't clear to most of the industry. Webinar will clar- ify 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, www.powderbulk.com/webinars). Dryer Technology.
