Included in the new edition are sections requiring the use of FR clothing, meeting NFPA 2112, for all workers exposed to possible flash fire hazards due to dust explosions. Section 6.1.1.10 states “Personnel exposed to a dust flash fire hazard shall be protected in accordance with 11.2.2.” Section 11.2.2 then states “Operating and maintenance procedures shall address personal protective equipment (PPE), including flame-resistant garments, in accordance with the workplace hazard assessment required by NFPA 2113…” .
