Safety Considerations

NFPA approved explosion vents should be used on all wood applications. The collector should be located outside whenever possible or near an exterior wall with the explosion vents ducted per NFPA outside the building. Read the informative OSHA Hazard Information Bulletin on the subject of improper installation of wood dust collectors in the woodworking industry.

Sprinkler kits should also be installed in the collectors. If equipment being aspirated has the potential to produce sparks, such as a high speed sander, spark detection/suppression systems should be considered. It is best to have the customer check with his Insurance carrier and follow NFPA 654 Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids, 2000 Edition.
