Independent Consulting for Combustible Dust & Hazardous Areas
Most companies approach dust safety reactively
Compliance activity happens after an audit flags gaps or an incident forces action.
You can approach it systematically instead. Independent assessment gives you accurate documentation, clear priorities, and visibility on where you actually stand—without the disruption of guessing your way through regulations.
We're not equipment vendors. We don't sell dust collectors, electrical apparatus or vacuum cleaners.
You get objective analysis, so you can make informed decisions about what your facility actually needs.
Where do you Stand?
What You'll Receive:
Your personalised score report shows exactly where you're solid and where gaps exist.
Each category includes specific feedback tailored to your responses - not generic advice.
You'll understand which areas need attention first and why they matter for your operation
You can't improve what you can't see.
Our assessment evaluates your facility across the six areas that determine whether your dust management system is systematic or reactive.
What risks are you overlooking in your Dust Management?
When dust compliance is reactive rather than systematic:
-
You discover gaps when auditors find them - not before
-
Unknown explosion risks exist because proper assessment hasn't happened
-
Best practice is unclear, so you're making decisions without confidence
-
Incidents become the trigger for learning about the risk
You shouldn't need an audit or incident to understand where you stand.
Industries we Serve
Pharmaceutical
Precise dust control for operations where contamination matters
We help you manage API powders, excipients, and nutraceutical ingredients while maintaining product integrity and explosion protection.
Wood & Paper
Wood dust creates explosion risks throughout sawmills, panel production, and paper manufacturing.
We help you manage these hazards without compromising production throughput or adding unnecessary controls.
Food & Dairy
Flour, grain, sugar, and dairy powder present specific explosion hazards that many facilities underestimate.
We help you understand the risks in milling, mixing, packaging, and storage operations.
Mining Resources
Underground and surface operations involve coal dust, silica, and metal dusts requiring explosion protection.
We help you meet mining-specific regulations while managing ventilation, ignition sources, and dust accumulation in challenging environments.
Chemical
Chemical powders and reactive materials require specialist knowledge of explosive atmospheres and material handling.
We help you classify hazards accurately and implement appropriate protection systems.
Metal Processing
Aluminium, magnesium, and other reactive metal dusts have specific ignition sensitivities that differ from organic dusts.
We help you understand these unique characteristics and implement effective controls for grinding, polishing, and finishing operations.

See your compliance maturity across six categories. Understand where you're systematic versus reactive.
Most facilities don't have a clear picture of their position until an audit reveals gaps - or worse.
Here's how you get ahead of that:
What you can achieve with the right support
After your site assessment, you'll know exactly what work needs doing.
Here's what's available when you're ready.
Dust Hazard Analysis
Get documentation that accurately reflects your dust hazards
A proper DHA gives you defendable evidence of due diligence, clear priorities for remediation, and a foundation for making informed decisions about controls
You'll have documentation that passes regulatory scrutiny and actually drives operational improvements.
Hazardous Area Classification
Understand where explosion risks actually exist
Area classification determines which equipment is appropriate and where your ignition controls matter most.
You'll know which zones require certified equipment, where you can use standard apparatus, and how to manage the boundaries between them
Verification Dossiers
Prove your equipment is fit for purpose
Verification brings together test reports, certifications, and installation records to demonstrate your equipment meets the 60079 Standard series requirements.
You'll have the evidence auditors and inspectors expect, organised and accessible when you need it.
Ongoing Support
Keep your systems current as your operation evolves
Standards change. Equipment gets modified. Processes evolve. Regular reviews ensure your compliance position doesn't deteriorate over time.
You'll maintain visibility without needing an incident to trigger reassessment.
