Description: Hazard and risk profile is a graphical, low cost method of identifying and ranking hazardous properties of powders like dust. Powder explosion, fire and thermal stability test data is the key to identifying hazards and safeguarding the plant. Qualified data indicating which powder characteristics are potentially hazardous through a series of graphs for different powders identify particularly hazardous materials and point to weakness in the prevention or protection measures. Additional information on essential data for formal hazard assessment work help meet legal requirements such as national health and safety at work legislation, and European ATEX 100a and ATEX 137 (1999/92/EC Directives).
