OSHA has identified certain hazards that other countries currently do not recognize and regulate. One example is combustible dust. Even though a product may be non-hazardous by UN GHS criteria, if it is capable of producing a combustible dust in the workplace under foresseable conditions of use or emergency situations, the manufacturer must classify the product as “hazardous” under OSHA with “combustible dust” as a hazard, and provide the mandated combustible dust warnings. Products such as granulated sugar or corn starch, which are normally considered non-hazardous, can and have produced combustible dust conditions, and are now considered by OSHA to be hazardous.
