What Happened

The U.S. Chemical Safety Board has renewed its longstanding recommendation that OSHA develop a comprehensive standard specifically addressing combustible dust hazards. The agency released a new safety video revisiting the May 2017 explosion and fire at Didion Milling, a dry corn milling facility in Cambria, Wisconsin, that killed five workers and injured 15 others.
