Dust was coming from the Baur filter of the south tower.
Two employees were dispatched to the tower. They
removed the door of the Baur filter and were attempting to
unplug the filter, when they became engulfed in flames.
Sawdust from the open door of the filter and dust from the
air outlet created a dust cloud that infused the tower and
filtered down to the hot surface (742-810 degrees
Fahrenheit) of the dust system and ignited.

Description
Two employees were operating and monitoring a self-fed
industrial wood sanding machine used in a particleboard
production process. The shaved wood particles were
collected by a pneumatic extraction system and
transported to pollution control equipment consisting of a
cyclone and baghouse (filter). An ignition source within the
confined chambers of the pollution control equipment
initiated a wood dust explosion. The explosion and fire ball
propagated backward through the dust extraction system
and entered the work area.

Data Limitations:
The combustible dust incidents included here are likely only a small sampling, as no federal or state agency
keeps specific statistics on combustible dust incidents, nor does any single data source provide a
comprehensive collection of all these incidents. Information about small combustible dust incidents and nearmisses is also generally unavailable. For instance, because incidents that cause no fatalities, significant
injuries, or major fires may not be recorded in the OSHA and fire incident databases, the true extent of the
problem is likely understated. Due to these limitations, the CSB does not represent the incident data as
complete or error-free, and other compilations of dust explosion data are available. The books included in the
References of this report, Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS, 2005) and Eckhoff (2003), contain
useful data complilations of dust explosion incidents.
Notes on Validity:
The CSB has made reasonable effort to individually verify each incident in the data set. Some incidents in
the "Raw Data" could not be conclusively verified, therefore they are not included in the 281 incidents
reported in the Dust Study Report's Appendix A. Users of this data are encouraged to perform additional
verification before using any of this data.
Disclaimer & Limits of Usage:
The information contained in the "Basic Data" spreadsheet does not correspond one-to-one to the incidents
reported by CSB in its Hazard Study Report. Some incidents were omitted from the study report due to
insufficient information to verify the incident.
This data is intended for research purposes only. The CSB does not accept responsibility for any use of this
data outside the Agency.
The data sources listed herein were mainly used by the CSB as an initial indication that an incident may have
occurred, that might have been a dust incident. The information contained in this dataset is the result of the
CSB's investigation into the publicly-available sources and/or interviews with persons who have first-hand
knowledge of the events.
