The flash fire that burned seven workers, one seriously, at a U.S. Ink plant in New Jersey in 2012 resulted from the accumulation of combustible dust inside a poorly designed dust collection system that had been put into operation only four days before the accident, an investigation by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) has found.
The U.S. Chemical Safety Board released its final report, safety recommendations and accompanying safety video covering a fatal combustible dust explosion at the AL Solutions metal recycling facility in New Cumberland, WV.
