Our Solutions

Process safety solutions for the wood industry

Protect your goods, business, people, workplace and brand identity by eliminating and reducing the inherent risks of working with wood dusts

Do these problems sound familiar?

Identifying types of wood dusts and their flammable properties

It should be assumed that all wood dust has potentially explosive properties. As a result, they should undergo rigorous dust explosion testing at a suitable laboratory.

Understanding the complexities of your safety systems

Workplaces need sufficient ventilation and safety systems designed for toxic or explosive hazards that may arise from a specific source, these should be correctly characterised by a hazardous zone.

Unfamiliarity regarding hazardous substances and explosive atmosphere regulations

Hazardous wood products, residues or by-products that may occur or build up inside the working environment will fall under DSEAR regulations and specialist ATEX rated equipment may be required.

Integrating competent inspection and maintenance practices

LEVs and other systems handling wood dust are legally required to be examined and tested (CompEx) by a competent person once a year and specialist holistic training is necessary for operators, supervisors and managers.
