This Checklist is a Self-Assessment, Self-Scoring tool to determine percent compliance on Combustible Wood Dust Issues. As a measure of percent
effectiveness, a SECOND LOOK at identical issues AFTER the first look should result in the following: #1-Corrected Conditions, AND, #2-An
increased Self assessment score relative to the baseline. Comparative percentages is the best method to QUANTIFY RESULTS after information on
combustible wood dust has been presented, reviewed, and opportunities for corrective action have had a chance to be implemented.
