What are Legislators Doing?
Following a highly publicized combustible dust explosion at a sugar refinery in 2008, legislators drafted a worker protection combustible dust bill, HR 5522: Worker Protection Against Combustible Dust Explosions and Fires Act which passed in the House but not the Senate. Legislation was reintroduced on February 4, 2009. The Worker Protection Against Combustible Dust Explosions and Fires Act, H.R. 849 would require the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration to issue rules regulating combustible industrial dusts, like sugar dust, that can build up to hazardous levels and explode.
