Combustible Dust Audit Houston

This combustible dust audit checklist supports daily inspections by zone across a sawmill or similar manufacturing facility. It guides teams to assess primary and secondary dust levels, identify ignition sources such as heaters, electricity, hot work or friction, and verify that cleanup schedules are adequate and timely. The template prompts evaluation of 5S opportunities, secondary dust thresholds at less than 1/8 inch over 5 percent of the work area, and whether conditions are free from upset risks. It includes employee knowledge checks on dust hazards and safe use of compressed air (pre-work card, avoid dust plumes, last-resort use). Sections cover multiple zones including conveyors, chippers, sorters, stackers, filing rooms, planers, energy plant areas, kilns, and related equipment like HPUs.
