Intent 1:

To remove from the application of Clause 5.3.1.2.(1)(c) and permit the use of compressed air or similar methods if:

  • vacuum methods are impracticable, and
  • measures are taken to eliminate all possible sources of ignition from the dust removal area where hazardous conditions are created by the displacement of dust.

This is to limit the probability that the dust will be ignited by sources of ignition, which could lead to harm to persons.
