On the recordApril 30, 2008
indeed, I would like to commend Chairman Miller and Congressman Barrow. I know that the intent is very positive to address a terrible tragedy that occurred in February at Port Wentworth with the Imperial refinery explosion. I do want to point out that it has been stated that we do not have sufficient regulations relative to combustible dust, but that there are 17 standards addressing combustible dust which do apply, and would submit these for the Record. Appendix A. Standards Addressing Combustible Dust 1910.272 Grain Handling. 1910.94 Ventilation Standard. 1910.22 Housekeeping. 1910.176 Housekeeping violations in storage areas. 1910.269 Housekeeping violations at coal-handling operations. 1910.132 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). 1910.119 Process Safety Management. 1910.307(b) Electrical Violations 1910.178 Powered Industrial Trucks. 1910.252 Welding, cutting, and brazing. 1910.145 Warning Sign. 1910.1200 Hazard communication violations. Subpart E--Means of Egress 1910.33-37 1910-156-157 Fire protection violations. F1910.263 Bakery equipment violations. 1910. 265 Sawmill violations. 1928 Agriculture. The only provisions discussed in this NEP which may be cited in connection with agricultural operations are the hazard communication standard (see 29 CFR 1928.21) and the general duty clause. Industries in SIC 0723, Crop Preparation Services for Market, Except Cotton Ginning, listed in Appendix D, are engaged in agricultural operations.
