Speaker: Jason Reason, Senior Vice President/Consultant, Lewellyn Technology LLC
I am currently the Senior Vice President of Safety and Health Services for Lewellyn Technology. I am also a consultant who performs combustible dust consultations. In my new role(s) with Lewellyn Technology, I have continued to document and address an infinite amount of combustible dust hazards in a myriad of industries throughout the United States.
Prior to joining Lewellyn, I was a Compliance Officer for IOSHA for 12.5 years, I performed or assisted on over fifty combustible dust inspections at a wide range of facilities, including combustible dust National Emphasis Program (NEP) inspections and accidents and fatalities caused by combustible dust.
Since 2009, I have also been a member of several of NFPA Technical Committees that address combustible dust hazards. These committees include the following:
• Committee for Handling and Conveying of Dusts, Vapors and Gases (NFPA 91, 654 and 655)
• Committee for Wood and Cellulosic Materials Processing (NFPA 664)
• Committee on Fundamentals of Combustible Dust (NFPA 652)
• Correlating Committee for Combustible Dust (Oversees all combustible dust technical committees)
• Committee for Flash Fire Garments (NFPA 2112 and 2113)
In the last four years, I have performed over fifty presentations, speeches, technical sessions, etc. on combustible dust at various conferences and other events. I have also previously spoken at the 2014 & 2015 NSC Conference and the ASSE Safety Conference (2012, 2014 and 2015). I have also taught numerous portions/sections of the Combustible Dust Course at the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) in Arlington Heights, Illinois. This course is designed to teach Federal and State Plan OSHA Compliance Officers how to properly perform an OSHA combustible dust inspection. In addition to teaching the OTI Combustible Dust course multiple times, I have also performed combustible dust training for several OSHA State Plans.
