Explosion Protection Services That Help You Design, Operate, and Comply with Confidence

Combustible dust and flammable vapours present critical safety risks in many industrial operations. Without the right precautions in place, ignition events can escalate into devastating explosions — threatening life, infrastructure, and business continuity.
Wintek Engineering provides comprehensive explosion protection services to help Ontario-based manufacturers and processors evaluate risk, implement protective measures, and meet all applicable regulatory requirements. Our expertise combines real-world engineering with practical risk mitigation, backed by deep familiarity with CSA, NFPA, and MOL guidance.
Whether you’re installing new equipment, responding to a Ministry order, or proactively addressing known hazards, our team delivers reliable, professional insight and solutions.

What Our Explosion Safety Services Cover

Our explosion safety services begin with a detailed risk assessment and evolve into tailored solutions that match your process, materials, and operational context. We assess and design protective systems for environments where:
  • Combustible dusts (e.g., flour, wood, metal powders, pharmaceuticals) are present
  • Flammable vapours or gases are used or emitted
  • Enclosed equipment such as dust collectors, silos, dryers, and mixers operate
  • Ignition sources (e.g., mechanical, electrical, static) may be present
  • Cleaning practices or maintenance operations create accumulation risks
Our assessments follow leading standards such as:
  • NFPA 652: Standard on the Fundamentals of Combustible Dust
  • NFPA 68/69: Explosion Venting and Prevention
  • CSA C22 and B149 Codes
  • Ontario Fire Code and OHSA regulations
From material testing to facility-wide protection strategy, Wintek helps you reduce uncertainty and enhance safety.

Explosion Risk Assessment and Gap Analysis

We begin every project with a structured risk assessment, tailored to your site and industry. This includes:
  • Identification of combustible materials and their properties
  • Review of process flow, containment, and dust migration paths
  • Evaluation of housekeeping and dust accumulation
  • Analysis of ignition source controls
  • Existing suppression, venting, or isolation systems
  • Area classification (electrical zoning)
The result: a clear, documented assessment of your explosion risks and where gaps exist. Our explosion protection consulting services give you practical next steps, not just a list of hazards.

Engineering and Design of Explosion Mitigation Systems

If mitigation is needed, Wintek can support the engineering and implementation of:industrial dust collection systems:

Explosion vents and rupture panels

Chemical suppression systems

Isolation valves and containment systems

Flame arrestors and spark detection

Explosion-proof electrical equipment specification

Dust collection system upgrades with compliant venting paths

PHSR Support for Explosion Risk Equipment

Many installations involving combustible materials trigger a Pre-Start Health and Safety Review (PHSR) under Ontario Regulation 851. Wintek provides full PHSR support for explosion-sensitive systems including:
  • Dust collectors
  • Spray boothss
  • Mixing and blending operations
  • Conveying systems for combustible powders
  • Solvent dispensing or recovery systems
We handle everything from code review and documentation to stamped engineering reports for submission.
