DESCRIPTION
You have selected our Instructor-Led Virtual Bundle Combustible Dust Fundamentals (NFPA 660) on April 7-10, 2025 and Instructor-Led Virtual Hazardous Area Classification & Electrostatics Fundamentals on April 11, 2025.
The course will be held on: Monday- Thursday 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm Central Time
Friday 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm Central Time
Combustible Dust Fundamentals (NFPA 660)
The recently published NFPA 660 Standard for Combustible Dusts and Particulate Solids combines and updates the fundamentals from NFPA 652 with the requirements from the five “commodity-specific” NFPA standards (NFPA 61, 484, 654, 655 and 664).
This course will cover the fundamentals of combustible dust prevention and control contained in Chapters 1-10 of NFPA 660. It will also cover how to navigate the “commodity-specific” requirements from Chapters 21-25 when specific dusts are handled that are subject to additional requirements.
Chapter 1-10 of NFPA 660 form the “On Ramp” to combustible dust requirements contained in the commodity-specific Chapters 21-25 of NFPA 660. It contains mandatory requirements for the management of the fire, flash fire, and explosion hazards posed by combustible dusts. Although this standard provides some flexibility in approaches for ensuring the safety of the occupants, facility, processes, and equipment, some of the requirements must be complied with retroactively. Successful completion of the class with the quiz results in receiving Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) Leader certificate.
Virtual training from the DEKRA Process Safety team leverages over 30 years of PS experience, while incorporating the latest techniques in remote learning. All classes are led by our experienced trainers using a dynamic, interactive approach.
Hazardous Area Classification & Electrostatics Fundamentals
This course will provide a systematic approach to identify, evaluate and control electrical ignition and electrostatic hazards. Attend this course to learn how to conduct a Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) study, learn how to evaluate ignition sources caused by mechanical equipment and electrostatic sources, and specify appropriate (electrical) equipment in the hazardous areas. The course covers aspects of NFPA 497 (Classification of Flammable Liquids, Gases, or Vapors and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in Chemical Process Areas) and NFPA 499 (Classification of Combustible Dusts and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in Chemical Process Areas)
