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.
