OSHA recently posted a new directive to its website containing policies and procedures for inspecting workplaces that create or handle combustible dust. The NEP can be found at:

http://www.osha.gov/OshDoc/Directive_pdf/CPL_03-00-006.pdf

Upon further review, bakeries are impacted in this OSHA NEP since flour dust is classified as Class II Group G (see pages 4-5). It appears that OSHA will be focusing on housekeeping issues (see page 16).

I notice that I receive from time to time some  very informative Emails via your "yahoo group". One of my business associates has asked me to ask you to post a comunication to go out to your yahoo group. Casa Grande Products in Sacramento, Calif. is soon going out of business and has some equipment to sell. Attached please find a two page list of that equipment in a word document. If you could post it via the group he and I would appreciate it.
