Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to: 1. Increase the extraction capacity of the pneumatic dust collection system to conform with the sanding equipment manufacturer's design recommendations. 2. Install explosion venting or explosion suppression devices in the dust collection equipment as specified in NFPA Code 664.
