U.S. Work Place Regulation
Work place safety in the United States is regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Although there are currently no OSHA standards that specifically regulate combustible dusts, several OSHA standards are used to mitigate the risks of dust explosions, especially the OSHA Sanitation standard, subparagraph (a)(2) Housekeeping, and the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act.
As of 3/12, OSHA has a National Emphasis Program (NEP) targeting work site which may have combustible dusts Combustible Dust.

“Poetry, whose material is language, is perhaps the most human and least worldly of the arts, the one in which the end product remains closest to the thought that inspired it.... Of all things of thought, poetry is the closest to thought, and a poem is less a thing than any other work of art ...”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“I’d like to get away from earth awhile
And then come back to it and begin over.
May no fate willfully misunderstand me
And half grant what I wish and snatch me away
Not to return. Earth’s the right place for love:
I don’t know where it’s likely to go better.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Nothing can be more real, or concern us more, than our own sentiments of pleasure and uneasiness; and if these be favourable to virtue and unfavourable to vice, no more can be requisite to the regulation of our conduct and behavior.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
