Run Combustible Dust Housekeeping and Hazard Analysis Log (Woodshop) — Free

Inspection Scope and Area Identification

Inspection area, date, and shift documented

Record the specific woodshop area, inspection date, and shift or operating period covered by the log.

Inspector identified as competent person

Document the inspector name and role; inspector should be trained to recognize combustible dust deficiencies and ignition hazards.

Dust-generating processes active in area identified

Select all processes present in the inspected area that generate wood dust or fines.

Note (optional)

Inspection scope includes all dust accumulation surfaces critical (required)

Verify the walk-through covered floors, ledges, beams, equipment tops, ducting, and hidden horizontal surfaces where dust can accumulate.

Yes No N/A

Dust Layer Management

Visible wood dust accumulation within acceptable housekeeping limits critical (required)

Check for dust layers on horizontal surfaces, overhead structures, and equipment. Any accumulation that could contribute to a combustible dust hazard is a deficiency.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Dust depth measured at representative locations

Measure dust depth at representative surfaces where accumulation is present. Use the facility's defined action limit if more stringent than general guidance.

Note (optional)

Dust accumulation on overhead beams, rafters, and cable trays addressed critical (required)

Verify overhead and elevated surfaces are free of hazardous dust buildup that could disperse during vibration or air movement.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Dust on equipment tops, motors, and light fixtures removed critical (required)

Inspect machine tops, motor housings, lighting, and other elevated surfaces for settled dust that can heat up or become airborne.

Yes No N/A

Vacuuming and Cleanup Practices

Cleanup performed with approved vacuum or dust collection method critical (required)

Verify cleanup uses equipment suitable for combustible dust control and not compressed air or dry sweeping unless specifically controlled by procedure.

Yes No N/A

Compressed air used only under controlled conditions critical (required)

If compressed air is used, confirm it is limited by procedure, area is de-energized or controlled, and dust is captured without creating airborne clouds.

Yes No N/A

Housekeeping frequency meets site procedure

Confirm the area is cleaned at the required frequency based on dust generation rate and occupancy.

Note (optional)

Cleanup waste containers closed and removed from ignition sources critical (required)

Verify collected dust, shavings, and debris are stored in closed containers and kept away from sparks, hot surfaces, and other ignition sources.

Yes No N/A

Dust Collection System and Containment

Dust collection system operating and connected to active equipment critical (required)

Verify dust collection is connected, running where required, and capturing dust at the point of generation.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Ducting, hoods, and filters free of visible leaks or damage critical (required)

Inspect ductwork, hoods, and collector housings for leaks, tears, missing panels, or other deficiencies that could release dust.

Yes No N/A

Dust collector maintenance status current

Record the last filter change, cleaning, or maintenance date and note any overdue service or abnormal conditions.

Dust collection discharge and storage areas free of accumulation critical (required)

Verify the collector discharge, bin area, and nearby floor are free of escaped dust or debris buildup.

Yes No N/A

Ignition Source Prevention

Hot work, smoking, and open flame controls in place critical (required)

Confirm ignition source restrictions are posted and enforced in the woodshop and dust collection areas.

Yes No N/A

Electrical equipment and cords free of damage or overheating signs critical (required)

Inspect cords, plugs, motors, and electrical enclosures for damage, overheating, or other conditions that could ignite dust.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Static control and bonding/grounding measures in place where required critical (required)

Verify bonding and grounding controls are installed and maintained where required by the facility's dust control program.

Yes No N/A

Portable heaters, forklifts, and other hot surfaces controlled critical (required)

Check for uncontrolled hot surfaces or mobile equipment operating too close to dust accumulation or dust handling areas.

Yes No N/A

Dust Hazard Analysis and Corrective Actions

Dust hazard analysis reviewed and current critical (required)

Confirm the dust hazard analysis for the woodshop has been completed, reviewed, and updated after process or equipment changes.

Yes No N/A

Deficiencies documented with corrective action and due date

Record all deficiencies, non-conformances, interim controls, responsible person, and target completion date.

Inspector signature critical (required)

Inspector signs to confirm the log is complete and accurate.
