10.5 Emission of explosive dusts

  10.5.1 Where the transport or handling of solid bulk dangerous cargoes may give rise to the emission of dust that is liable to explode on ignition, all necessary practicable precautions should be taken to prevent such an explosion and to minimize the effects of an explosion if one should occur.

  10.5.2 Precautions include ventilating an enclosed space to limit the concentration of dust in the atmosphere, avoiding sources of ignition, minimizing the heights of walls of materials, and hosing down rather that sweeping.
