DHA Assessment
Full-scope Dust Hazard Analysis following the SS 667 and NFPA 660 process-hazard-analysis methodology for your facility.
About This Service
Overview
A DHA Assessment is the cornerstone of combustible dust safety management. We conduct a thorough, on-site evaluation of your processes, materials, equipment, and operating procedures to identify every scenario that could lead to a combustible dust incident. The assessment begins with a detailed walk-through of your facility to map process flows, identify dust generation points, and catalogue potential ignition sources.
We apply hazard-analysis techniques such as What-If, HAZOP, or Bow-Tie analysis depending on the complexity of your operations. Each identified hazard is evaluated against recognised severity and likelihood criteria, producing a risk matrix that prioritises mitigation efforts. Our reports include clear, actionable recommendations that span engineering controls, administrative procedures, and housekeeping practices.
The final deliverable is a professionally documented DHA report suitable for presentation to regulators, insurers, and corporate stakeholders. We also provide executive summaries, compliance gap matrices, and implementation roadmaps so your team can act on findings immediately.
