03 Mar 2022
In this episode, Molly is joined by guest Michelle Murphy, a chemical engineer who has worked in process safety for 25 years. Earlier in her career, Michelle designed, built, and managed a combustible dust testing laboratory, and now she is the newly appointed president of Sigma-HSE INC., the North American division of Sigma-HSE. Molly and Michelle cover the basics when it comes to combustible dust testing, including defining combustible dusts, discussing why dust testing is needed, and reviewing what types of tests are available. You'll learn how to select a combustible dust test, what commonly used tests tell you about your dust, how testing samples should be prepared and collected, tips for making the most of your testing budget, and how testing relates to your MOC and PHA processes. If you have additional questions about combustible dusts or combustible dust testing, Michelle invites you to visit Sigma-HSE.com, send an email to her at [email protected], or reach her by phone at 603-303-7863.
