COMBUSTIBLE DUST
OSHA estimates that 30,000 U.S. facilities are at risk for major combustible dust explosions – across all industries. So, the threat of an industrial explosion in your facility is very real.

That's why OSHA recommends – and in some cases requires – manufacturers to use certified explosion proof vacuums or dust ignition-proof vacuums as part of a regular plant maintenance program.

SPILL PREVENTION, CONTROL, AND COUNTERMEASURES (SPCC)
Oil spills endanger public health, impact drinking water, devastate natural resources, and disrupt the economy. Every effort must be made to prevent oil spills and to clean them up promptly once they occur. The purpose of the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule is to help facilities and farms prevent a discharge of oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. A key element of the SPCC rule requires farms and other facilities to develop, maintain and implement an oil spill prevention plan, called an SPCC Plan. These plans help farms prevent oil spill, as well as control a spill should one occur. Learn more about the SPCC Regulation.
